Default $60,000 Street Glide from Krypton

I came across this on Craigslist and I hardly know what to say.

http://boston.craigslist.org/nos/mcy/2164803446.html



He calims to have over $60K into this bike and is selling it for $29K. Hard to imagine affording that on Clark Kents salary from the Daily Planet.

But seriously...$60K in mods?!?! Don't you have to plan on keeping that bike for life? I suppose if you're Superman there is no iminent threat to your life so maybe it makes sense

If this guy has $60k in this bike, he got F'd!

I've probably got $60k in my SG and I did everything but shoot the paint.
There came a point when I stopped adding dollars up.
My scoot has wayyyyyyyyyyyy more than this one posted.

No folks, I'm not "flaunting dollars."
Hindsight...I could have just rode the damn thing and almost paid my house off!
I'll never drop bucks like that on a bike again.

Maybe the Super Man badge he stuck on the side cover has real diamonds and is worth 40k?

Agree with Glacier... anyone who puts that kinda money in a stereo would surely post pics of the stereo or at least list the details. I will have almost $30K in my bike after my stretched bags, rear fender, and air ride are finshed... I couldnt even think of what else I could spend another $30k on that I would actually like! I'm not buying the $60K story!
