Okay. Here's the deal.

At the current bid of $9100 and split between the five of us here so far, that'd only be about 2300 bucks for EACH of us!!! And so, what say we pool our resources here and all acquire this beautiful little puppy. You see, we'll all own it, but being the accomodating person that I am, I'll take the responsibility of keeping it in my garage for the rest of you guys.

And the best part of this deal is that the weather in SoCal makes keeping it here ideal, as it'll seldomly see any rain or inclimate conditions while I would occassionally ride it in order to maintain that it stays in good running condition.

And of course, any ol' time the rest of you folks are out this way, you'd be free to ride it around a bit too.

(that would only be fair, ya know)


Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)

It's nice but would be much nicer and worth more with all the stock parts put back on it. I think it is over priced right now because of all the stuff that's missing or altered.

"PURIST"!!!!

Now come on Ian. Sure it'd be "worth more" but that baby's BEAUTIFUL and so tastefully done, and would certainly catch MY EYE at any gathering of classic bikes over some old Meriden-built machine that was meticulously restored by some "anal-retentive type"!!!

It really is beautiful, no argument and I never said otherwise, just that I would like it better if stock and it isn't worth 10,000 in it's present configuration.

Hey! Whatever The Market will bare will be "what it's worth", right Ian?!

And offhand I'd say a low five-figure price isn't an outlandish amount of money for something this beautiful and unique!

(especially considering that many many dolts...err...I mean people are paying 40, 50, 60 Grand or more every single day of the week nowdays for some of those outlandish and poor handling custom choppers that those dolts...err...PEOPLE "think" are "sooo coooool", RIGHT?!)

I don't want to see any part of the market nekkid. I'd rather see what the market will bear.

True , anything is worth what you can get for it. It is a sweet ride and a lot more stock than my 58 T-110.

The way I feel about the 40 to 60 grand or more for those choppers is there is one born every minute. You can buy the parts and bolt one together for about $8,000 to$10,000.

Sold for $10,500.01 with an apparent 1 penny increase on the last second of the sale. LOL! I am envious of the new owner. Someday one of these will be mine. Oh Yes! She will!
