The recently disbanded British Army's motorcycle display team's bikes are being sold at auction in Sherborne. The Triumph T140 bikes have been specially customised for stunts with no rear suspension and a modified throttle.
Six of the bikes go under the hammer at Charterhouse Auctioneers estimated at £5,000-£8,000 each on 16 November. Each bike is being auctioned with a presentation file charting some of its history.
The team's remaining 20 bikes have been donated to museums and sponsors, or returned to motorbike manufacturer LF Harris.
