A Blog about Motorcycles. Also at www.OldMotoDude.Com, on the OldMotoDude YouTube channel, and Pinterest. The motorcycles are mostly vintage, but really anything that catches my eye. 99.99% of the content on this blog is original material. Comments are always welcome. Use the search bar... you never know what you might find.
Sorry, 50 big ones for a replica motorcycle? No history, probably not even raced! Lovely looking bike but no way is it ever worth that, the sum of the parts? Trident engine in a Rob North replica frame, nah, not buying it, anyhoo, too shiny for a race bike, just sayin'
ReplyDeleteYou'll get no argument from me. Sometimes there's no reasonable explanation for the value people put on stuff.
DeleteSold a stamped set of engine cases used by Gene to the guy that owns his AMA sealed Daytona frame for about 3% of that. If the frame is a '72 lowboy it probably would have been a Wenco, not a North. North had already left the UK for the US and never made the frames for the US team that he was paid for, hence the frames built by Wenco Industries on a jig built by Dan Macias, team manager.
ReplyDeleteGreat info. I love hearing from folks who know their stuff. Thanks for commenting.
