You've got to watch your back in the SSDB, this is where the clever guys get bored with bike talk and make poo jokes.
I like my women a little big. Natural. Now, they shave this and wax that. It's not right. I love natural women. Big women. This trend in women has to go. Bulomia, anorexia. That's just wrong. You know what will cure that? My special sticky buns. One lick of my sticky buns and your appetite will come right back. ~ RIP Mr. Borgnine  01/24/1917 - 07/08/2012  :'(

I know everyone always thinks that auctions drive and get the highest prices, but I just do not think that is the case.

That's definitley a steal.

David Silver spares bought it for their museum. The auctions need two or more bidders that want one. I guess the big time collectors just prefer older bikes.

OK, the truth is I single handedly destroyed the value of sandcasts. When I got one. It was bound to happen. Dang, I wanted to trade it even up for a new gold wing too.
