Jim Hoellerich was 88 years old when he passed away 2 weeks ago, leaving a dairy-farm-turned-museum, the Museum of Vintage Trail Bikes in Massachusetts packed-full of trail bike parts, memorabilia, and more than 145 motorcycles. Now those are up for auction
Hoellerich made sure his entire collection would go to auction by specifying so, in his will. The event is planned to take place on July 30, 2022. Thirty years worth of Hoellerich’s collecting (always buying, never selling) will be offered up to the public.
Among the available machines are, Penton, OSSA, Bultaco and Yankee motorcycles, along with parts, rebuilt engines, restored pieces, parts and accessories. Every piece will be auctioned off.
Hoellerich’s wish was that everything he owned would be passed on to those who loved the sport as much as he did.
Jim Hoellerich passed away one day after hundreds of riders attended one last open house at the hilltop private museum he founded. “Jim passed away only hours after the event ended,” wrote friend Paul Stannard
