Wow! Wow! All of you guys that think he ripped them off didn't watch the show. They called him. and he tolded them that it would bring the most money at the biggest antique bike auction there is ,at Las Vegas. He loaded it up ,stopped by Maggie Valley, loaded up a few more ,and gave the keys to Matt ,and told him to go. Dale got the other truck and trailer and picked up other bikes. The lady and her son were at the sale too. I don't remember how much the bike brought, but Dale bid on it once, but had to drop out imediately cause he couldn't afford it. The Bike brought all it would bring and that's all . Everyone went away happy, and I thought it was a good show. You shouldn't down the man for trying to make a living at what he does. What he does is not easy. It looks fun but ,he busts his hump getting bikes and other things into that museum hoping that we will like what he has done. Its not easy working at pleasing everyone, but he has to try or no one would come back or tell his freinds to stop by. Good job Dale! \The Zook:
+zookster4 The motorcycle sold for $133,000 and represented the highest sale price of the MidAmerica Auction. An older, restored example of a Pierce, a 1911 Pierce Single that was once displayed at the National Motorcycle Museum in Anamosa, Iowa, was sold by its current owner for $40,000. - See more at: www.thunderpress.net/top-stories/2013-midamerica-las-vegas-antique-motorcycle-auction/2013/05/03.htm#sthash.yAwfjHLD.dpuf
I'm guessing that none of you guys have ever been to the museum in Maggie Valley, NC. I, myself, will be in his shop in the morning dropping off painted parts and whatever Dale needs from me. He's a great guy. Check out the Wheels Through Time Museum.
IN 99% OF THE CASES WHERE A VERY VINTAGE ANTIQUE MOTORCYCLE IN ORIGINAL CONDITION IS UP FOR SALE - THE BUYER WILL HONOR THE THE BIKES INTEGRITY AND WILL NOT RESTORE IT. THAT CANNOT BE SAID ABOUT ANTIQUE CARS, HOWEVER. FAR TOO MANY ANTIQUE CARS ARE SOUPED UP, CUSTOMIZED, AND ALTERED - THEREBY, RUINING THEM FOR ANY FUTURE GENERATION BUYER WHO WANTS AN UNMOLESTED ANTIQUE CAR.

it's their money and they entitled to do as they please... go buy a vintage bike or car and preserve it
So what did he end up paying ??
Holy cow!
I have rwo trange old harleys for sale; both are functional. One is a three wheelers from 1941 and the other is a1948.
Didnt even say what year it was
Unbelievable!
Wow just wow... that thing was worth at least 250
So what did it sell for
a bit over a hundred
OH MY GOD! SOMEBODY CHECK MY PULSE
0:33 His what??
The bare minimum I would pay for that bike, with all the accessories like it has, would be around $250,000. If I wasn't a broke average joe.
i would think it would be worth more than 500,000.00
That's a full time job for 50 years for some rusted iron - not me.

If you have to ask, 'how much', you can't afford it.........................
So we don’t know what the damn things worse👎🏻
If I win the next 600 million dollar lotto I'll buy the back back and give it back to the family in new restored condition.
+Inachu Ikimasho Biggest mistake you could make is restoring it.. i would be worth nothing compared to original and not restored.
Restore it, hahaha.
Just meticulously clean and lube it.
@@thijsiphone Actually yes that is true
He ripped them off bad
you're a fkn loser who has no idea what you're talking about
You guys believe anything in the show? The plots are totally made up. You can't tell?
Now comes the rip-off.
