Going to take a little coin to take it home. http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/181651205546?item=181 651205546&lgeo=1&vectorid=229466&rmvSB=true | ||

I hope it goes to a good home but, at that price it won't be mine... I believe it's over priced at US $232,433.00; but a survivor 1952 Vincent C Rapide V-Twin Sold for $132,500 at Mecum's auction last month... so maybe not? https://www.mecum.com/lot-detail.cfm?lot_id=LV0115 -200898 | ||

Overpriced? that's the current bid Teeps, which doesn't even meet reserve. "buy it now" price is a cool round one million dollars! Hard for me to see its history justifying that much of a price though. | ||

I'll bet $1 George Barber has his hairy eyeball on it... Sometimes a particular historical item does justify what looks to be a wildly inflated $$$ amount... compared to the Peter Fonda chopper, what happened in history on this Duck is much more significant. YM&$MV.  | ||

At first I wondered where the "bio" was for this bike, dove in a little further, and found the written pages. IIRC it wasn't too long ago that I read a commemorative piece about this bike, and one or several modern-day replicas recently built... not gonna dredge through my boxes of old magazines to find it though. I DO remember really enjoying those articles. (Message edited by 86129squids on February 03, 2015) | ||

If Barber buys it, at least we'll be able to see it, as opposed to other typical scenarios. | ||

Sounds like a practical grocery getter. Does it come with saddle bags and GPS mount? |
