Monoblocks on a 1960 220S? Just... no.

Knobbies on a Sportster? Just... no.

Seller asking $20k for a clean 1997 S500? Just... no.

$1400 for used Bowflex dumbbells? “Used maybe once” according to the ad. G reat idea, ridiculous price. CP.

I don't mind the 220S actually...

Maybe the Harley guy was working toward a dirt track look and realized he didn’t have the funds to do it right.

The wide-glide front end isn’t part of the dirt track look though. This thing looks like one of my 8th grade doodles.

You’re so negative.

Maybe a failed offroader project of some kind. With an upswept exhaust and taller suspension I'd dig it.

That’s my point. Maybe he bought it from someone who was working on a tourer look and thought it would be better as a dirt tracker, then came to his senses after he realized how much money it was going to cost him to convert that bike to what he wanted. I’m trying to give the guy the benefit of the doubt.

It’s possible I guess, but the tires are just comical.

It’s one of my best attributes.

To be fair the last 2 are pretty CP, but I’m digging the Harley and the 220S!

I’m surprised how many people live so disconnected from reality...

The monoblocks should effectively bolt right on to a fintail, but I bet there are clearance issues. Easy to remedy, a set of correct 13" wheels shouldn’t break the bank.

On that car, front bumper is wrong, missing side fin chrome, I actually don’t prefer Euro lights on W111s, but it has dual mirrors, which are uncommon.

A W140 in theory could be worth that money, but I think it would need to effectively have 4 digits on the odometer and be mechanically and cosmetically concours with no needs of any kind.

The 220 is clean. Just needs a wheel swap.

1400 for used dumbbells? LOL - I think they slipped a decimal point.

I have a similar set of weights . They are awesome, but that is probably off by a decimal place.

Those monoblocks look tight on there, I dunno what you’re talking about.

Knobbies belong on all bikes.

The dumbbell seller is on crack. Anyone who buys those new is also on crack. You can buy an entire squat rack, plus a bar, plus enough plates to be swol with that kind of cash.

A modern design wheel looks odd on a brick like a W111 imho.
