Todd's bike from "Hunting Harley's"

Waddya think he'll get for it?

I guess "official" types in the leadership of motorcycle clubs say it isn't original. Todd says it is..

Either way, it is semi-famous.

Some of Rick Nielsen's guitars?

I would be afraid to even handle a 6 thousand dollar guitar.. Let alone try and play it.

He'll need about $200 large to break even. He paid about $146 if I remember correctly. Mecum has really high fees I read. Buyer premiums and all

Don't know the history behind that bike but it seems like a stretch to say that he paid that much in 1997 for it. I've been riding for almost 30 years and been into the old bikes for close to 20 and an owner of a knuckle since 2005 and I've never even heard of that bike untill now.

It has bid to that or more and he would not take it,said he wanted 320,000 or something like that. he did pay around 146,00 but not sure of the date

Well, there's no reserve on this auction, so who knows what it'll do.

[confab]

I saw that.. Pretty big gamble he's taking.

Todd is quite the showman.

High end collectors are so rich that a few hundred K means nothing to have the right jewelry in their collections, which is good because it preserves those bikes and draws machines out of the woodwork. Bikes like that are museum pieces best kept for reference.

The US is full of wealthy people. https://www.investopedia.com/article...ve-america.asp

Good for Todd if they fight over it.

If i was a player I'd be more interested in the two Larry bikes, but will be cool to see what greenie brings

HAHAHA I bet he just stopped advertising. I think it's a shame he gets any plublicity espescialy good. I feel everything is tainted that goes threw his warehouse for sale.

I have a 78 jmp still i bought new, and a vibro verb

[DoomBuggy]

Nice!

I had a '75 Les Paul Custom that the neck broke at the tuner head. I had it pinned back in like '80 and it held up well.

Problem was no one wanted to play it due to weight. I sold it a few years back and was stunned at what I got for it, repaired neck and all.

My main guitar is a '90 American Strat Plus with the Clapton mid-boost on it. That will go to my grandson as he is now a serious rocker. ( He is only 10 right now and currently is using my BluesHawk. The kid is jamm'n the hell out of it. Got to love School Of Rock! )
