                      Pricing

                      I am going to assume that the prices on the bikes shall do the same sooner than later.

                          They already have. The bike I ride is worth $10,000. That is the for sale price of it. If that is what determines its worth, I am sitting on a gold mine with the two I own. You're billionaire waiting for your ship to role in Mike.
                          Life is what happens while your planning everything else!

                              Works for me! I like the sound of "billionaire".

                                      I am thinking the price on Amazon might be a misprint? I did, however, just order mine from Karla, which will be signed and numbered by her. After reading the reviews on Amazon, I am excited to read it, and learn.

                                          I doubt it. Theres 4 for sale, each one more expensive than the previous.

                                              Actually, the price is correct. There are several other used ones within the same ad that are more expensive - over $300? I think you will enjoy the book. I am sure Karla's appreciates your buying it.

                                                  Hmm.. I have acquired 3 or 4 of them. At that price, the book is worth more than I've given for most of my bikes? lol.
