Those bikes will never be worth "a lot" of money. I'd say maybe one or two of them will be rare and worth slightly more than usual.

Wait 100, maybe 200 years and find out.

Thanks for posting...it was actually pretty cool.

The dude is fortunate to have the money to have a place like that and things to go in it...but...that kinds of extravagance just rubs me the wrong way. Maybe it's my upbringing or my experiences overseas in third world countries, I don't know.

To me, life is about experiences. What you've done, where you've been, people you've met along the way. My best experiences didn't cost much (or anything!).

I can't imagine having motorcycles like that without riding them. I also wonder about the cars. The RV was really cool and it would be cool to tour in it, but at the end of the day, I would want to be able to say I've been here/I've been there, I've seen this/I've seen that...etc.

I'm sorry...to me that is sad. All those bikes and he does'nt even start them or ride them. What a waste. People are starving in the world and he has millions tied up in stuff he just stares at. He's an *** in my opinion

i agree that he has too much money. but, it's his money to do with as he pleases. it's no one's place to say that he can't. besides, he may give a ton to charitable causes too, we don't know that.

using your analogy, anyone who has any excess would be an ***. and that would include you with your hd. after all, why should you get to ride an hd for pleasure when there are people starving in the world.

it's always that way in a 'free' world. some will always have more than others. i am not for the gov or anyone else 'equalizing' that for me. i worked hard for what i got, you have the opportunity to work hard for what you get.
