Hollywood’s Guy Parted Ways with Some of His Most Beloved Motorcycles
It is a shame, really, that one has to part ways with one’s beloved. Hollywood’s esteemed photographer, Guy Webster, unfortunately does not have a choice if his condition has anything to say about it.

3 years ago, Guy found himself on a cold, metallic table of a surgery ward for a quadruple-bypass that triggered a stroke which ultimately put him in a wheelchair. Unable to move his left arm and leg, he could no longer partake in his various passions – photography, tennis, volleyball, golf, skiing, dancing, and most especially, riding a motorcycle.
His ultimate passion was not just riding, however. He is also an enthusiastic buyer which led to a large collection of some of the world’s finest Italian motorcycles. Because of the incident, he had to start giving away his prized possessions, some of which he hunted down for years.

Rob Talbott, a retired wine entrepreneur, obtained 20 of Webster’s best such as a Mondial GP factory racer, a rare Capriolo Corso and a pair of Ceccatos.
Only eight motorcycles were auctioned off in Las Vegas while five precious ones remained with Webster, there to keep him warm whenever he reminisces about his good ol’ riding days.
Here are the eight two-wheeled bikes that made its way to Vegas, all of which were sold:
