Auctions America by RM, a subsidiary of RM Auctions, is expanding to include a vintage motorcycle division with the acquisition of Bator Vintage Motorcycle Auctions. Classic and antique motorcycle expert Glenn Bator will lead the new division for Auctions America.
The company will present its first extensive bike offering at its second annual ‘Auburn Fall Collector Car Auction’ scheduled September 1 – 4, 2011 at its 235-acre Auburn (Ind.) Auction Park headquarters during the famed ‘Auburn Cord Duesenberg Festival’ weekend.
“The establishment of a dedicated motorcycle division for our company is in direct response to our clients’ interests and requests,” states Donnie Gould, President, Auctions America by RM. “We’re thrilled to have Glenn Bator on board. His extensive industry knowledge will make Auctions America by RM events the premier venues for both buyers and sellers of classic two wheelers.”
“I am extremely pleased to be joining the Auctions America by RM team,” adds Glenn Bator. “The union of RM’s excellent organization and customer base with Bator’s loyal customers will no doubt produce world-class vintage motorcycle auctions.”
Glenn Bator has been restoring all types of motorcycles for a number of years, with a specialty in pre- and post World War I American machines. In addition to his work restoring bikes, Glenn, along with his wife Deni, has operated the long-standing Bator group of companies. Glenn is known for having organized motorcycle shows and staging auctions at such prime venues as the Barber Vintage Festival and the Daytona Classic Motorcycle Auction held during ‘Bike Week’. Previously, Glenn held the position of curator, restorer and general manager for the Otis Chandler Vintage Museum.
