With the Oldsmobile in the background, it looks like and old photo of a new bike. It might have the original air in the tires!

The tires are probably the original to the bike just old and weather checked and the Oldsmobile was a pretty cool old car he just recently picked up
He had another 650 with custom made tank and seat area (whatever it's called )
An old guy in his 80s did that
He makes the design he wants makes the molds and ships out the custom parts to others
I should have taken a few pictures of it

1947 Indian Chief, the guy wants a bucket full of cash for this bike, and these are the photos he posts. I swear I don’t get people. He can’t even be bothered to push it out into the sunlight and take some decent photos.

Another listing, which I won’t even bother posting a link to. Does this photo make you want to buy this Harley more or less?

Wow! I predict that won’t last long! That’s a nice complete, unmolested bike with good paint and a straight tank.

Super nice Honda Elsinore enduro selling at no reserve, very low bid right now , so far I’m pretty sure he’s losing money on it.

Nice looking bike! I found his YouTube video with a cold start. Would you say that it smokes a normal or excessive amount?

 

[Rasputin]

I’m so glad I don’t live in America. I’d probably be divorced living in a trailer with 100 plus bikes.

 

[Raymond]

Nice looking bike!

Yes, definitely a looker. Back in the day, many of us thought the Kawasaki triples were the sexiest of the two strokes. The 500 and 750 versions gained a reputation as widow makers though.

Would you say that it smokes a normal or excessive amount?

I'd say that's normal for a two stroke starting from cold. I think he gives it just a little bit too many revs too early though.
