Reminds me of...

Lots of iron crosses and skulls. All it's missing is a few naked chick silhouettes! I think you can ask twice as much with those fantastic features! What a bike!

... a classified ad I saw a while back where some guy was selling a Toyota SR5 with "25K worth of stereo equipment" installed. Guess what? It was still only worth blue book value. People should realize that putting a lot of accessories on any vehicle doesn't affect the resale value very much. Many times if the mods are powertrain related they actually will decrease the value.

You're not .....

seruzawa, Do you honestly think this bike is worth the same as a stock model? This is not a bike that some bumpkin bought & slapped on a few chrome accessories bought at the local bike shop. A lot of time, effort & imagination went into this bike & it shows! Every where it goes there are people checking it out, asking questions & taking pics. I dont see them paying as much attention to stock bikes! Why don't you apply your theory to bikes put out buy major builders. Tell them thier bikes hold the same value as a stock Harley! I think you should take a pause before you publish statements. I remember an old saying that goes (Better to stay silent & be thought a fool that to speak & remove all doubt!).

...selling a Harley. You're just relying on PT Barnum's old adage.

Looks like your the one

I see you didn't take the advice. Let me ask you a question, are you a real rider or a book biker?? You know, one of those guys that comes online & makes comments & quips but the only bike they have ever ridden is thier neighbors minibike when they were 12 or 13! Your statements have that neophyte aura to them. I am not trying to be insultive, I am just making an observation!

who needs to take his own advice.

Okay. I'll bite. But first you gotta tell me whether the Norton 750 Commando was positive or negative ground. Whether the 60's Ducati singles used tappet screw adjusters or bucket/shim. What were the handling characteristics of the 1954 AJS 500 twin? What were the power characteristics of the '75 KawMach III vs the '69? And finally how long does it take to ride a Honda CL90 from the rock quarry on the South China Seacoast at Monkey Mountain to the downtown center of Danang, RVN.

Jeez...

Actually "polished turds" was what I was thinking, but hey what do I know

.... you're even harsher than I am. All I did was comment that loading on accessories doesn't increase the resale value. Which it doesn't. Ask any loan officer.

Excelllent Smithers.

Oh, there you go again. Bringing up your crazy "facts" and "figures" to cloud the argument. Well, it isn't going to work this time Mister!

1. Positively negative in a +/- orientation
2. Shims with tappet screws in the buckets
3. Sucked
4. Scary Sucky versus Sucky Scary
5. Depends on the headwind and how busy Charlie was that day.

HAHAHAHAHAHA!

Except #2. That was a trick question. The old Ducks used an eccentric pivot to adjust the valve clearance.

And #5. Proximity of enemy 82mm mortar fire affects motorcycle top speed in direct proportion. But you get 50% for 1/2 correct answer.

As a reward you get a free gift certificate to Crazy Tuco's Custom Choppers and Meth Lab for a free armchap.

Well....

You don't sound like a 'Book Biker' now..........more like a junkyard owner.

.... most of them were Japanese.
