Shame to see the bikes just sit there but I will never knock the guy for earning his money and spending it how he wants. Money doesnt buy happiness but I sure would give it one hell of a try.

It's just a bunch of relatively new Harleys. Big deal. A real collector would have some old Indians, Harleys, and old Brit iron a must.

Saw this episode when it came out. He earned his wealth by getting an education and used it to start a company, grew the company and sold out at retirement time.

Instead of being upset with him as some are copy what he did. The opportunity is out there for those with the drive and ambition.

Every watch the family that makes the duck calls and became millionaires?

Business is the place that builds wealth not wages for the most part.

He sure looked like a very happy self assured person to me. His pleasure was from understanding motorcycles and having them like art work. He could have spent several millions on one Rembrandt to look at. It cost him much less to buy models of HD that spoke to him.

He is to be respected for his success not vilified.

Yep, that is my goal. If I had the money and time he has, I would do the same except I would do like Stash said. I don't envy or begrudge him, if anything I admire sucessful people. After all, he earned it the old fashion way and it is his money. I got to get back to work..........

I can not even process that kind of wealth.
If it was earned honorably by someone then i hope they and their family/friends can enjoy it.

That's a great collection of bikes and if it was mine I would actually ride them. To each his own. I did spot one bike in his underground garage so it looks like he does actually ride occasionally. I was surprised he didn't have a nicer collection of cars though.
