If you're super lucky, you grew up in a motorcycle family, and you've got generational levels of knowledge and experience running through your veins. Or, at the very least, a quick phone call or text message away.
But for the rest of us (including me), the next best thing might be a guy like Craig, AKA the Bearded Mechanic. See, he grew up in a family that regularly went to auctions, so he was doing this stuff as a kid and absorbing all that knowledge. And now, as an adult, he's making videos about it to satisfy the curiosity of those of us who haven't been there (or at least, not yet).
As he explains it, he regularly makes a point of checking out information about auctions within a certain radius of where he lives, but the one in this video somehow escaped his notice until just a few days before the event. Still, in this mega auction of old Japanese motorcycles and parts from a historic dealership that had recently closed down, he saw enough to make showing up with a trailer seem like a good idea.
