Yup, get that.

[gsrick]

Definitely has the cool factor, but it's out of my league.

Take my money, please...

[exdirtbiker]

It's till available !

[Cipher]

that is a thing of beauty. Was the grandfather the original owner? 5 years short of a century and runs that is quite amazing.

[exdirtbiker]

No, the Grandfather was not original owner.

his ad says "driver not a showpiece" because he took it to a "expert" who did nothing but complain about what boltheads were wrong and didn't belong on the bike.

this is still available. Why is no one buying this???

I think it is way cool and would love to have it, but I can only answer for myself. I don't have $25K to spend on a H-D or anything else for that matter. If I had that kind of dough, I'd have my own shop open.
