Default Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man bike for SALE!!!

YES you heard right, I found this on CL and it is SIGNED! Say whatever you want about the movie, but this is the bike that made me want a night train since high school. I watched that movie so many times when I was a kid it wasn't even funny. I'm heading down there Monday and gonna take some pics and see if I can sit on it just once.

It's a classic, but not a quarter million dollar classic.

Three bikes were used in the movie. This may be the "Hero" bike but you can build a clone for 20K.

Don't understand the night train reference. The movie bike was based on an FXR.

Yeah it was, but the general look of the bike reminds me of it. I mean if you really can't see some similarities you may want to go to an optometrist.

The dealer knows they aren't gonna sell it at that price. They also know that it will bring people in "just to see it". Those people will most likely buy a shirt, or something else.

Makes good business sense

The Black Death bike is my all time favorite movie bike, loved it from the get go.

Been looking at Trains since '99, been on mine for 6 years and it's my keeper, so obviously I'm familiar with it.

My optometrist says my eyesight is 20/20 and I couldn't confuse the 2 bikes at any distance or light.

Both very cool, both very different bikes.

Lighten up, Francis...
