First I wanna thank 07 for his contribution

As for the subject at hand, I'm kinda surprised and not at the same time. I think most people are over choppers, I know I am. I always thought he had a hell of an eye for custom bikes and especially cars. I would probably give my left nut for that 54 Chevy of his.

Doesn't surprise me if he did. I would imagine the market for 100K choppers has declined a bit.

Not to mention, he already made his stash...I can't imagine the cheddar he rolled in on account of the merchandise alone.

That must be the one you don't use?

40yrs ago I loved my chopper, built one myself. These days few can afford a new Harley let alone a 50k+ custom build chopper..

Some look nice with simple lines and shinny paint and all the chrome, just there in a very small % of sales..

As far a JJ's himself, I have my own opinions....
