Harvest Classic European and Vintage Motorcycle Rally

03/05/2025

Over 20 years, the Harvest Classic Family raised over $1 million dollars for the Candlelighters program of Any Baby Can. Even though the rally has become a fond memory, there are still families who are battling cancer that need our support. Any Baby Can also provides a wide variety of support to families who are navigating the complexities of healthcare, understanding developmental milestones, or simply needing a community to rely on.

Please donate to Any Baby Can today, so that your donation can be matched by Amplify Austin!

Thanks in advance for clicking the link to donate!

Another SUPER-COOL motorcycle that will be available in the live auction this year is this 1981 Honda Motocompo, donated by Cycle Refinery. The Honda Motocompo was unveiled in 1981 as a mini folding scooter that was designed to fit neatly into the trunk of a car. In fact, the trunk of the Honda City compact car was specifically designed to accommodate the Motocompo in its folded down configuration. The handlebars, seat, and foot-pegs fold into the scooter's rectangular plastic body to present a clean, box-shaped package of 46” × 9.5” × 21”. It is the smallest scooter ever built by Honda.

These unique little bikes have become extremely collectable and have developed a rabid cult following. This Motocompo looks and runs great! It has new tires, and and has been gone though by Cycle Refinery. This collectable mini-motorcycle will be featured in the live auction to raise money for the Candlelighters Childhood Cancer program, so get ready to go big to go small!

Hey y'all, as promised, here are some better pic's of the Honda RC350 we'll be offering on auction at the rally this weekend - this absolutely stunning race bike was donated by Fred and Maggie Beck, in memory of their son, Charlie.

This one of a kind beauty was imported from New Zealand where it was raced very successfully by its builder/owner, a policeman who reportedly lived down the street from John Britten.
The bike still holds the Classic Bike lap record at its home track in Christ Church, New Zealand, and was Parade Lapped by the late great Joey Dunlop on the South Island of New Zealand before his unfortunate death. Brought to America by the Kings of Speed, they ran it at Daytona where it placed second in its class.
Fred bought the bike to race in AHRMA but has been hesitant to race it - when you see it in person, you'll understand. It's gorgeous, yes, but there's nothing about this bike that's not dedicated to going fast.
We were immediately overwhelmed by the twin urges to put it somewhere safe and polish it, AND to take it out to Harris Hill immediately and ride it for all it's worth.

If you missed the first post, here are the build details:
