Rooke is an asshat, I wouldn't buy anything from him, just another rich kid who's daddy bought him a bike shop.
He used to race shifter karts and he was a ***** then too.

 

Boy Bikers works of optimistically overpriced art...is not my cup of tea.....But they do say there is an *** for every seat......

 

Hmmmmm, here's one for less than 10 grand:

Jesse Rooke is the biggest boner in the motorcycle industry. Stupid flyboy surfer shovin 120" engines in a bicycle frame and trailering it around thinkin heis Peter Fonda or something. I saw enough of him and his attitiude at shows in Cinci and on Biker Build off. Stick to the nancy's with the surf wax.

 

Now there you go JB. My first bike was a 305 scrambler also, circa 1968. Wore it out riding the seacoast roads in Mass., NH and Maine. Bought it used for around $400.00. Those were the days my friend!

 

I bought mine new for $600.00 + , but less than $700.00 I believe in 1966. Exactly all grey primer looking. While stationed in San Diego I rode it up and down the west coast until I got shipped out. =) Lowryder
BTW, they were really good bikes at the time.

Hey, JB... I hope you had those "washer" baffels in "city mode" riding around the neighborhood like that.

 

Think i'd just rather pick up the new nighster for a helluval lot less money and similar appeal, if not better, imo

 

We had one at the bike shop I worked at we used as a shop bike. I couldn't find a pic of that one so I dug this one up off the net. And yes those washers never did get closed very often. Back then my style'n ride was one of these. Alway liked the Dream motors over the Hawk motors, the Hawks may have had dual carb's but they also had the 180 deg. crank wear as the Dream motors had a 360 deg crank and sounded a lot more like the Britt. bikes.

 

It is pretty cool, but 30,000 bucks?
