I've seen that scooter on ebay before and I think it was discussed in a thread on the General Monster Forum recently. I remember the owner being wacky to spend mega bucks on all the extras then having his wife say get rid of it as soon as he rode it home. Bet she cuts him off for the next 2 years!!!
But I remember the bike had just about every trick bit you could bolt on the bike... and then some! The dude dropped damn near the selling price of the bike in bling. And damn nice bling! I think I posted that I would let him get beat up some more by his wife over it then offer him $15K for it!
Hope you buddy gets it. That is one hell of an awesome Ape for the money. If my wife wouldn't chop off my nads with a clever I would buy it in a second!!

Hope this works out.
