An interesting article on Mike Wolfe of the tv show American Pickers.

Some of the bikes he's gotten, I like the six cyl Triumph Salt Flats bike. I also like the early '70's scalloped paint job bike, another Triumph Trident engine.

They were in Michigan not to long ago at my buddy's buddy place. He said they were so cheap on everything that he didn't sell them anything and they didn't film it. Obviously I would assume they wouldn't film it if they didn't buy anything. But then again, showing the cool stuff on TV could have possibly upped his business. Who knows. And we all know that they have to buy low and sell high. But I guess the offers were like an $100 for a $1000 item. I could see offering $500 for a $1000 item... but seriously.

I like the show for its items, not the cash exchange.

I hate the fact that they lowball. The days of the great barnfinds are all but over since the internet/ebays came about. Kinda skewed things to where everything is a collectable to somebody.

Oh well. I do love seeing the history of cool old stuff though.
