That's amazing!  Wonder what they'll go for?

[Travman]

I don't believe it.  It's a hoax.

Wow...that's amazing.  I'd really like to get a hold of some of those.

I own a 75 MKIII Norton.  They are wonderful bikes. Wonderful!

They handle VERY well and are MUCH faster than one would think 55 or 60 HP would go.

Not only do I wonder what they will "go" for, I wonder what I'd be willing to give for one.

I'm wondering how much speedi-dri it takes to clean up after 11 'electro-leaks'.

[JDucati]

omg.    I wish I had the money to bid just once.   That is truly amazing.  Congrats to anyone that gets one.  Beautiful pieces of workmanship.

It's a hoax.

It's true! 

The guys from American Pickers went over to Europe and found all of them in a old, Belgian-redneck's polebarn.

I guess it is true then.  Has that show aired yet?

all those dried out seals

potentially rusted bores from ambient environment in barn sanding down the rings

brand new yup

and probably will be smoking like JAWA 2-strokers inside of 50 miles

at a minimum top-end tear down before running

LOL yes this Prom punchbowl was too good to not take a leak in....

but I do know from where I speak...

I have restored many great looking barn jobs in the past and learned the hard way
