      I didn't even notice the dimensions, it looks so small on a desk.

        What would the high courts rule......

        Interesting dilemna, which is more accountable the written dimensions, or the pictures that demonstrate a clear scale of size. This sounds like another fine issue for the supreme court to decide.
        Life is what happens while your planning everything else!

        When your work speaks for itself, don't interrupt.

          Hi Blue,
          Judging by the like items I've seen at local craft shows a welded motorcycle whimsy that small usually sells at the $20 mark. The $50 ones are usually a lot bigger and are better done. Mind you, that particular one seems to have an Ariel Square Four engine and those machines, although not as up-market as the average Vincent, are highly collectible, eh?

              Besides, unlike 'real' motorcycles, its value should increase over time, plus, it will definitely last you a lifetime (as long as you don't leave it outside in the rain and snow ).

              And your comment "talk about getting scewed" well, almost but, looks more like 'bolted' !

                Crazy!!

                Crazy, but I'm sure plenty of folks would spend $50 on $5 of nuts and bolts.

                  Stick a Harley Davidson logo on it and I'll bet someone would pay twice that amount!

                    It's about the same tech level as a harley! I assume the rear wheel is designed to give the v-twin thump as you roll down the road.
