I'm happy wobbling about on my cheapest bike but can see how it can get very expensive for show-pony bike builders
Have even been considering selling my haro and maybe having a bash at something else (not allowed any more bikes at home  :D)

but for me the best bit about this hobby is the bunch of mentals on here - met a load of safe peeps through this site and they don't give a fook how much your bike cost

The interesting thing for me about this lark is that one RADster's, Rider is another RADster's dream bike, and another RADster's Show Pony could be vile.   :idiot2:

I adore my Diamond Back, and I detest Hutches.... I am certain my Pro Large makes some people ill, but that is why we are a community.  :daumenhoch:

how do you put a value on stuff thats becoming scare and collectable ? if someone has got the dosh they will pay it whatever because money is nt an issue and they want it , like ebay , two well off peeps bidding it ll go through the roof and put prices on this stuff outta reach for most , lots of stuff in life is becoming a rich mans game , blame them , blame whoever but its fact

  Take collectable art , fooking crackers some of the prices that fetches , again the wealthy dictate the market because there paying these asking prices , then when they pay such n such they want such n such back and more when they sell


 Take for instance this little collectable , is it worth what he is asking ? in my eyes no because of what other motors you could get for the dosh , but if i had the dosh id be down there now not even thinking about the price , just because i want it

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MK1-ESCORT-MEXICO-COSWORTH-350BHP-CONCOURSE-WINNER-BEST-MK1-2011-/320864561704?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item4ab504aa28

 You will not stop people asking crackers prices and people paying it ,end of the day these bikes are bits of metal , plastic n rubber , aint worth getting in a flap about

True, all you can hope for on here is honesty and when we sell between each other, the part isn't sold on months later for a vast profit. Leave that shiit to eBay

But would you spend that money on a fake Escort though?  ;)

Is a replica Cobra worth more than an original Shelby Cobra?

most replica cobras look and sound the boolocks and will maim at will  :LolLolLolLol: but is worth way less than an original in monetary values, originals will command big cash so again its all about the money , Is a replica cobra worth more than original ? yes in fun and enjoyment in my eyes as i would nt wanna drive a mint original for fear of writing the thing off  :LolLolLolLol: or damaging it or putting the miles up on it , just for show

if you have the cash you will do as you please

At least that guy had the 'decency' to sell it on eBay.  There was a Welsh guy on here who would buy at rock bottom price on this forum, then stick it back up for sale a few days later with his mark-up added.   :shocked:  He was doing it for ages and not a lot got said.  Nothing new in this and just the way it goes I guess.   ::)
