I wouldn't even give $16,000.00 for one of those bikes, if I HAD to RIDE it very far!

Over priced trailer queens...exactly right!

I wish I was in the market for 3rd bike as I see quite a few American Ironhorse choppers for 12-15k.

That bike was a fairly simplistic build but I would think that the guy who brought it there and got 16K and then had to pay the fees would have way better off going with Flea-Bay or even consigning it to a dealer?

Sometimes guys with more money then sense...

Thanks for the correction, I guess I should have hit the back up button on the old sat. receiver to get the facts before posting about it.

I think I'll stick with Harley, you can always find a garage ornament that some guy has hardly ridden in the 12 to 16 price range.

I'm surprised it brought that much, custom built bikes are over. Hope they saved some of that coin when things were good.

What makes you say that? the current financial crisis or do you think the market in general won't pay big bucks anymore for custom bikes?

Mimo.
