I'm not a big Harley fan but this is amazing!

"Up for consideration is an original, unrestored 1936 VLH 80 Cubic Inch Harley Davidson.  A true barn find sporting its original paint, custom ordered solid black with gold pinstriping.  Bike has all of the rare 1936 only parts, also has a complete NOS exhaust system, not reproduction.. and NOS or like new, Goodyear 4.00x19 Deluxe All Weather "Motorcycle" Tires.  Vin Numbers are unmolested and excellent, belly numbers are matching.  Bike is complete, has a 3 Speed Transmission, turns over but have not had it started.  This bike is truly a rare find in this condition and has an amazingly wonderful patina.  Sold with Bill of Sale.  Questions call 405-338-8990.  Thanks for looking and good luck bidding."

Looks a little too nice to be actually "barn fresh".

I guess it depends on what you call a barn.... ;)

 Best I found was a sandcast 750...# 572.. :o   :o

 and I found a 19 HD twin 90 % complete with reggie, didnt get that one.. I think someone else did and I know who.. The worst part about that, is at one time I made and offer AND had the money, and at that time the owner said it was not worth that much.. :o >:( :'(  :'(

 Also a Ducati Mach 1 in a backyard, a 69 Z50 from my dentist..

 a few more.. but I will stop making everyone sick.. ;)
