    Definitely cool! I like how he gets them running after they have sat for so long.

    I saw this about a year or so ago. It's amazing what he had stashed away in there.

    I never could get my head around this thought process.


    And this is why. Some slack-jawed economic "expert" couldn't convert something so tangible into a bet for failure. The values are not able to be converted into default swaps and "toxic" ***ets. Imagine if the ol dude had the money in a 401K or some mutual fund. These banker pukes convert the account, **** it dry, he loses and so do his heirs. Or, he could see the values of his kool stuff rising and know that an investment crook can't touch it. Now his heirs net around $3.25million thanks to his foresight. Shame? The only shame is that it's not you...or me.:cool:

  19. Man those old bikes are a find and a half, Ive just been helping to restore a 1911 L.M.C (english bike) and thats rare but some of those bikes are like rocking horse ****. Quite a shame to see one mans life long p***ion being split up and sold off all over the world though.
