Meh, I hate the guy, think hes a shite rugby player and an even bigger jerk, just the sort of guy who'd spend that amount of cash on a harley

Hmmm - I'm told it's not the full noise S&S either - it has some nice doohickeys, but you could bolt on another 40 ponies.

It is quite tastefully done, and the ergo's suit a 5'10", 5/8th perfectly. (I have trouble seeing past my knees on it.- he said exageratingly)

For that price he can get "los"
sorry couldn't resist..

If you were spending that much money on a custom bike, you could get something a shitload cooler than that, and one where the mirrors didnt just show the rider his own face with "who's tha man" written in black vivid at the top.

Im thinking you'd nearly get a Wraith for that, or any amount of the Confederate stuff, or even some of the German stuff.

I reckon theres at least a $20k "premium" just cos of who owned.

Some aucklander will buy it, and think they have an "investment".

Oh yes. You could get a very very good machine, from any of the 'great' marques, and have a lot of fun.

Is it just me or is there a paint-to-chrome ratio beyond which any bike starts to look just silly, be it Harley, Honda or Triumph?

Just cos he brought a Harley and spent the extra thousands of dollars on accessories... bringing the cost up to $77,000 dont mean he will even get that back..

He is dreaming if he even thinks that.

Putting on the accessories was at his own expense and pleasure.

He be lucky if he got even $50,000 for it.

Guess he wants to sell it before he goes to the UK to play rugby.

I reckon HDC is right, some corporate high-flyer will buy it simply for the prestige factor.

Ouch. I could think of many things to spend 77k on before that.

**Lou Girardin** · 23rd May 2005, 09:25

Phattails start at around $65000, and his has more goodies. Time will tell. Any guesses what it'll go for?

Yup, like the Ago MV F4 1000

Seems to me that the only two piccies I've ever seen of Los and his HD have him riding with no helmet... what's the go there?

And every time I go to a dealer and ask about trade-ins they tell me that extras that I've put onto a bike don't increase it's value... I guess that'll be why he's trying to flick it off privately to some sucka.
