If some rich guy with more money than sense wants to give me a ludicrous amount of cash for either of my Harleys, then show me the green. I can build the same bike again...even better this time, have a bunch of cash left over, and the only difference will be the VIN. That's fine by me.

Some of you guys that said you would never sell...seriously, not even for a seven figure sum? I find that hard to believe.
my attitude is the same as yours.

but the part about some guys never selling i can believe. i'd never, and i mean NEVER sell my chevelle.

too much of me put into it.

Beautiful Chevelle.

What if some rich Sheik from Dubai offered you $5 million for it? You'd seriously turn down that kind of money for a car you could replace or rebuild, and then put $4.8 million into your retirement account? Come on Toasty, tell the truth.

Toastman, that is Car ****. Would a cool $ million buy it? This thread reminds me of one of Dads favorite jokes. This guy asks a pretty girl if she will put out for a $100. She says hell no. He asks if she will put out for $100,000 She says ,well OK. The guy says now that we know you will put out, lets negotiate.

There are a lot of responses of "never" or stupid prices being thrown around in this thread. Makes me wonder how all those HD salesman are able to feed their families.........

Somebody somewhere is selling or trading bikes......

I'd take whatever it would cost me to buy a new Road King and outfit it with all the aftermarket parts I would want like a seat, bars, intake, exhaust, oh, and motor work.
