Is there anyone who was at the auction able to post up a list of bikes sold and the prices obtained. Especially the Japanese bikes. Thanks.

I don't quite think this is right. I was in at E Hayes were the original bike still sits and TV3 were there to do a story on this. I think someone has been had.

Sorry guys, I should have said it's not the bike he raced as the salt flats in Utah

Ok i may be shot for saying this but it wasnt one of Burt Munros bike. It was a close friend of Burts but not one of his own, he never put a spanner or anything on it so i think TV3 has done wrong by everyone in telling a story which isnt entirely true.
