Default B-17 Bomber with my Fatboy
Now this would be about an even trade, don't you think?

To be an even trade, I think they would have to throw in the machine guns to make it fair .

Why trade when you could run a 1/4 mile for titles. You could have them both.

Unless he gets annoyedand starts shooting a couple of those .50's at you.
But seriously, keep the bike. You probably wouldn't want to see the bill forchanging the 72 spark plugs or fill the oil tanks for those four R-1830's, let alone fill the gas tanks.

Ya... but having spent many hours in the pointy end, I'm guessing the view is better.

Considering that they made about 18,000 of them and there's not more than a dozen left. Of which there are onlya coupleleft in flyable condition I don't think you'll have to worry about gettingany offers.
