Good Places for salvage/crashed bikes in the UK

As the title suggests I guess. Anyone know where I can find stolen recovered/damaged repairable bikes in the UK?

Cheers

NSEC - forthcoming lots - sometimes they have bikes other times they dont - free to join i think - auction site

Copart Auto Auctions Home Page - HUGE SITE. You have to join and register as a garage i think (£15 but you will need confirmation e.g. a letter to your garage) It has hundreds of bikes every week for auction

eBay - The UK's Online Marketplace - find some on there but might be slightly expensive

I never knew of HBC, just checked it - the list is more than NSEC which is mainly cars, but A LOT smaller than the Copart Site. The copart auctions are based all over the UK and has different cars in every place.

Just be careful, some of the places in the Copart one only has online auctions, some have online ones but the bidding then continues in a physical one.

I bought a VW Caddy from there - flood dammage.. The conrods were totally bent (£400+VAT for a set of four - and i only needed two)

I take it you are a mechanic? Just be careful, some of the cars have more damage than shown e.g. under the bonnet/chassis but they wouldnt know.
