The Danny McKenna Collection

The McKenna family is well known for their Auto Dealerships in Southern California & Hawaii with an emphasis on Porsche, Audi and other high end brands.

When Danny McKenna asked us to help him thin his collection, we jumped at the chance. Although our auction site was relatively young at the time, Danny wanted a “hands off” sales option so we picked up all the bikes, took notes, collected the payments and handled all the shipping as well.

His collection was right up our alley as it ranged from the early 1900’s to dirt bikes to modern bikes. Panel racers, beautiful replicas, exotics and even some sculptures mixed in. If it has two wheels or is even associated with motorbikes…Iconic is your best option!
