Default Would you buy a Celebritys old bike?

I found this bike on Craigslist:
&nbsp\\;
http://orlando.craigslist.org/mcy/749521470.html

I've always believed in "Buy the bike, not the story."&nbsp\\;Anyone willing to buy a bike based on its previous owner being somewhat famous?

I bet it's&nbsp\\;nice ride.&nbsp\\; A 2003 with 3K on it, for an Ultra Classic???&nbsp\\;
&nbsp\\;
Wonder what they are asking for it, I don't see a price in the listing.

No, unless it was&nbsp\\;a specific bike clearly identified with&nbsp\\;a&nbsp\\;celebrity.&nbsp\\; For example, if Arnold Schwarzenegger was selling&nbsp\\;the&nbsp\\;Fatboy&nbsp\\;he rode in&nbsp\\;Terminator, that would be kind of cool.&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;The hard part would be the verification process.&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&n bsp\\;

If I wanted a UC I'd pay what I thought a 2003 was worth. How much does he want for it?

Only if Jesus used to own it and he rode it to Sturgis with Elvis in a sidehack.

I could care less if a so-called celebrity owned it or not, and it wouldn't mean&nbsp\\;a thing&nbsp\\;to me or most people for that matter.

Yeah, without proof, you could end up with John Voight's LeBaron convertible.

It would be cool to own a celebrity bike as it would generate additional bar talk.&nbsp\\; That 2003 Ultra owned by Geoff Bodine is listed in my home town.&nbsp\\; Hmm.&nbsp\\; Wonder if he has an ocean house or condo here.
