Yeah, but it was touched and ridden by the man himself.

That is all well and good but 50K for a Husky boggles the mind. Yea,  to have the man's bike is a monstrous ego thing and worth it to those who have the necessary  cash.  However, they were awesome bikes-I was the mechanic for a small, local Husqvarna enduro team back in the 70s.

I am sure he spent much more time sitting on his toilet.  How much would you pay if that was offered for sale?   It's just an old bike I don't get why it should be worth THAT much more because a certain guy sat on it.  Then would you even dare to sit on it...you would wipe all the Steve McQueen ass essence off.    And if I payed that much for a bike I would certainly want to ride it.....what the fuk good is it sitting in a glass case?  Wouldn't you want to show it off on Bike Nite?

You could ride it and show it.. But after paying 78k for it..you just may havev a few other toys.. To ride..
