    This is a '48 Harley with a sidecar, original condition. I am told this is worth about $25k in this condition...

    This '47 Indian is still undergoing restoration, neat half-tanks, even has an oil tank, as these didn't use a crankcase with a wet sump, rather they stored the crankcase oil in the tank and used an oil pump to circulate it. I suppose for additional cooling... sure would get warm on a hot summer day with 300 degree oil next to your right inner knee...

    This guy had a garage across the street with 5 late 60's-early 70's BMW's in it, a '65 Vette, partially restored, and a 69' Plymouth Super Bee with a fresh paint job. Way too many toys. The guy who painted the motorcycles and cars was buying the house, runs a paint and body shop. I may go visit him with the T-Bird when the time comes...
