Yep, I saw Elvis riding it just the other day. Had his gee tar strapped on the back.

 

The poor guy couldn't get anyone to bite at $19K so now he has relisted it at $16K.

Must be tough to sell and "original" Easy Rider Bike that was made in 2006.

 

Just watching a DVR'd American Thunder and they've got an interview with Sugar Bear. Show claims that SB's mentor, Ben Hardy, another black guy, was credited with building them. They show a picture of BH with the caption, "Ben Hardy is the man behind most of the Easy Rider construction. The man responsible for co-ordinating the bike building effort is Cliff Vaughs. Cliff worked with Fonda to get the right people to do the job on the bikes. For instance, Ben Hardy (brother Ben) added his thing by gathering all of the parts neccasary for the job."

 

Cool, I've got the original James Bond Astin Martin DB5 behind the house. The right machine gun sticks a little and the ejection seat is warn from the kids launching watermelons, but I'd consider a trade.

 

Let's see, first listing, $16,000.00 opening bid and 0 bids. 88 ci motor, a few "upgrades", geez, my Superglide has a lot in common with the "original" Capt. America bike, right down to the red/white paint. Well, mine is red, but with the bird dropping, it is white...

Thanks for that link Twiggy..
I think it's cool that the rednecks in the diner were real life idiots, so they used them for the scene..lol

 

Of course it's not the original. But I didn't get that he was claiming it was the one and only original. Why else would he say "seat made as the original?"

 

just come to have a look
