Pretty cool. I think he'll take good care of it.

Mike is supposed to have quite a personal collection of motorcycles, along with a few other items (especially bicycles of value and rarity).

$30,000 for an original 1907 Indian with all of its original parts really isn't over the top on price from what I have seen...

Where was this auction held?

That price doesn't seem out of line at all from some of the prices of other bikes at auctions.

I assume the first pic on the page is the one Mike bought and the second pic on the page is of a restored one like mike bought.
They are definitely not the same bike.

I thought they were the same bike, looked like they put the handlebars on and rinsed it off.

**crazygene49** · 09-07-2012, 11:49 AM

The auction was in Stuarts Draft, Virginia. Both pics look like the same bike to me also.

Yeah, you guys are probably right.
The handlebars and the different angle made me think it was two different bikes.
I couldn't see the high tech mud flap in the second pic
