Move over Aerocycles and Huffy Death bike....

if you read it again it says "all the guys with more money than brains" which means that there are guys in this world with more money than brains which is an accurate statement.
Not sure if maybe you just skimmed what I wrote but it does not say all guys with money have no brains.

Hope this clears it up.

Wasn't making a direct reply to what you said. More of a comment to the general tone of this thread. These high dollar bike auctions don't have a direct affect on the bike "hobby" directly. Values go up according to demand overall. Certain bikes create their own market. Cook bikes have always been passionately sought and owned. If someone wants and can drop big bucks on one than more power to him.
And yeah. Sometimes I skim.

Bike is down. Pretty smart move.

I bet the seller set the reserve at a crazy amount so the bike wouldn’t sell on eBay.

It brought out all the real buyers who had open checkbooks. Saved on taxes and fees. Only folks that got scammed here are the folks at eBay

Congrats to the buyer. Hope to see you out enjoying your new toy!!!

The owner is a very reputable CBR enthusiast. He’s also a mechanical engineer with some pretty amazing skills.

He has a couple of the nicest CBR 3 bars in ca. he has been collecting them for a long, long time. It’s legit. Dude doesn’t mess around.

It’s also on a frame straightening table that he built. He straightens frames. People from all over send him their high end cruisers and he puts them on his table and dials them in. He’s basically showing the potential buyer that this frame is straight as an arrow.

I get the skepticism. I get the poop talking. It’s a lot of money. But there’s plenty of people in this country and on this planet that have budgets that most people can’t even imagine. $50k to someone who made $3M dollars last year isn’t really as big of deal as it is to like 90% of Americans.

Dude is legit. You should see his motorcycles…

In 2017, a Hot Cheeto shaped like Harambe the dead gorilla sold for 99,900.00.

A auction like this ... even though it was pulled - will get noticed as it has ... by hyping one up .. others will surface ...

What a bunch of jokers, I would love to buy that bike and drive over it with my truck.

Why does having a lot of money equal not having brains? Unless one is fortunate to just inherit it makes sense that it was earned. If I had bigger bucks I would be inclined to indulge a bit. It's all relative when it comes to toys. If it's a real deal hopefully the buyer has a fun ride

I know plenty of dumb rich guys
