You should have just laughed and asked how much he thought he'd get back if he ever decides to sell it.

Sounds like a guy I once met. Told me that his 05 Duce made 85hp and 95ft lbs of torque with pipes and an A/C and no other motor work. I guess some people have the need to try to impress strangers.

It's all relative. There are plenty of folks that think you've got more money than brains for putting $18K in a Harley.

I'm not really sure, but I think that statement might just be so much BULL CHIT!

so basically he's spent more on upgrades than he did for the bike itself?
sounds pretty implausable to me.
