Re: The 2006 Monterey Odd Bike Auction

What? No 350 Honda twins? Not an auction I'd want to attend....

No Go-Devils either. WTF?

Great to see HD unveiled their new sportbike! The yellow Duc style trellis frame looks hot with the classic HD orange body panels, and the Telelever style front end with that wild yellow six-spoke and hub-centric brake oughta make this the best handling Harley ever!

Is it possible that Duc's new Desmosedici being offered for 65k has something to do with someone else not wanting to drop .5 mil for something very similar?

Okay, I have to admit that having one of those Mert Lawill XR bikes would be really cool.

Hello classic bike sellers. A bike is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it. It isn't worth some delusional value that you "believe" it's worth. I have a feeling that someone is going to be waiting forever to get $500K for that Duck.



I gotta admit, though, that 750 6-cylinder Benelli would look cool in my living room.

I like bikes but I must confess the hottest thing I saw was dresed in a tartan shirt. Who is paying top dollar for these piles anyway? There were even some Maico offroaders that I wouldn´t pick up if I found them in a ditch. "Every bike has a story" yeah right but do you want to put serious money for a story.

there is a buttload of home equity sloshing around california and not much imagination what to do with it. wait, maybe these bikes are "investments."

Junior Samples impersonator.

Samples had a much finer mind tho, and better looking.

I think Motorcyclist is in need of new leadership... i.e. his last few columns have been about getting old and scared of riding... When I buy the rag you can have his job... wait a sec I'll buy MO first and we will run Motorsissylist out of buiness..yep ..

 

[1747]

last few? Fug it is like Andy Williams and Moon River—theme song. I c on masthead they have new Creative Director all of a sudden. alex Hearn was Ed. of Performance Bikes 7 or 8 years ago when it was like the best bike mag going. Hmmmm?

Says the man with NONE. There is no such thing as home equity as everyone will soon find out.

Yeah, I've noticed this, too. When I pick up the mag, I'm always a little excited about reading about bikes. Then I read his column and I'm a little depressed.



Now I just usually avoid it.



I think a hostile takeover is in order. Then we install Burns as Dictator and Grand Poobah.
