A friend of mine went to a barn sale yesturday. The guy was selling everything to clean up an estate. He asked what all the guy had. After a few minutes he says well I have this old motorcycle out in the shed. They walk out and open the doors. The guy says its a Harley or a Indian. He crawls back in a corner to find a 1936 Harley..... :2purples: :2purples:
The guy says are you interested in it? He says how much $$$$$$????
Is it worth $500 ???? He was headed back today to look for the Indian the guy says is in another shed.
This friend of mine is a Lucky S.O.B.

Wow....your friend sure is lucky, Ive never heard of such a find, except once an old lady advertised some old Chevrolet for sale, turned out it was a 68 427 Vette put away by her late husband when he left for the war. :cool:

I know where there are two Knuckleheads on Kaui covered in weeds, complete down to the rubber on the pegs. Some old flip owns them. Focker won't sell them, says he's going to "restore" them some day. :rolleyes:

I had a friend mowed lawns for people as his 16th B day was getting close this nice older lady he did work for what he was going to do with all the money he made
he says I'm saving for a car but he didn't have enough for a very good one
so a couple of day later she tells him I have an old car that was my husbands
before he died it ran perfect when I put it away quit a few years ago its in the back shed if you wont to look at it
so he goes and looks covered in the shed is a black T bird in perfect condition
he got it for 200 buck bastard

Yea that shit never happens to me. We are at the shop the phone rings its the guy who owns the machine shop, he tell me this guy owes him some $ and he has a guitar for sale so I told him to bring it to the shop for us to look at cause the guy I worked for and I both play, then the cat pulles up with a 1969 fender strat. his aunt had bought for her son while he was in Vietnam but he never comes home. The guitar has MINT and my boss bought it for 500 Why cant things like that happen to me

If anyone wants and old skool chopper let me know. I was going to keep it as a keepsake. But my friend's widow and kids could use the money so......
It's up for grabs.
Every cent from the sale will go into the kids collage fund (mutal fund account I started for them)
