What Means Processor Frequency

WL sell parts!

week before last I was once again on my favorite wrench ** Thomas Rothacker / U.S. Classic bikes ** in Ă–stringen. Thomas seems to have made what is strong for 2011. The workshop was cleaned up and flashed from all corners.

A new Storage system in the adjacent rooms to ensure order. So for 2011, the quality of U.S. Classic Bikes is guaranteed. Thomas seems to have found pleasure in the bobber. He is now building a 741 in Indian Bobber style. I'm curious on the outcome.

reason for my visit was the pick of my old WL parts that are left over from last year to rebuild. The soon to go on on Ebay ** ** pal Rudi over the counter. Almost all original parts, but in very different states. If someone is looking for something specific, he can log in here on the blog. If the Part was already set but then goes on Ebay, nothing more.
** ** Here are it even more Bildervon the parts.

Bridal Mak Up Pitcher

Slowly you can ....

... we'll look forward to spring!

Even if the weather does not look like yet, but someday it will be spring and we can get back on the road. And there's so much involved in this (still) dark time dreaming, here's you a little overview of the upcoming events to Jahresmitte.Was I create them to be seen. Yes, there are lives next to the bike ;-))

Traditionally it is going with me on 1 May weekend with a weekend tour in the Palatinate Forest. Let's see who comes along this year and meet who I am.

Paintball Blog Freak Barrel

The secret of Bonham's Super X!

I recently had contact with Jeff, the owner of my Super X. He had rummaged in my blog (Google Translator *** *** Thank ) and found the auction in the *** Bonham's auction Las Vegas in early January *** Super X in original paint with Goulding sidecar. And that was in such a lot:

I noticed the original paint Super X with side car I tried to buy that at auction over a decade ago I quit bidding at.. $ 16,000.00 - idiot!
It went to an older gentleman (remark: Marvin Enoch) who I knew in Kansas City.  He let me borrow the original muffler/tail pipe to copy.  Your muffler is a direct descendant of that machine.  So is your pin striping.  The photos I took of that bike guided my painter. The Kansas City man sold it later for $21,500.00, then it went to a collector and I haven’t heard of it since, until I saw it on you blog.

So I attended the first auction of the Super X after it had been brought out of a long term residency at the original owner’s farm. I shot this photo of it. 



Note how the sidecar frame had been painted black. While the bike was in storage at the auction house, with the tub off the frame, an employee didn’t know what the frame went to and threw it in a junk pile in a field.  When his mistake was realized they found the frame under a foot of snow, and rusted. The preservative black paint was a result of that near disaster.
I was in the stands and had calculated what I thought I could afford to bid.  I was excited when the bidding slowed to a stop at $12,000.00, in my range financially. But a guy I know leaned over to elderly Marvin Enochs and said, “This may be your only chance to ever get a Super X,” so much to my disappointment the bidding resumed.  I bailed out at $16,000.00 and Marvin became its second owner and dragged it home.

While in Mr. Enoch’s possession it was left unrestored, which is a tribute to Enochs because he had restored 30-some bikes (30s Harleys. Indian Fours, Hendersons, etc.) to show quality.  This one he recognized as a museum artifact to be left undisturbed. I visited and took these pictures to document details that could only be found on an original unrestored Streamline Super X. 
















Marvin auctioned off his lifetime collection of cars and motorcycles. I was there but this time the X sold for $21,500.00, again out of my range, to ***“Motoexotica” *** (a car and bike dealer) in St. Louis, Missouri.

I had heard someone from Long Island, NY had bought it but presumed it would never be seen again, until it showed up in the Bohnam auction listing for the Las Vegas, NV auction.  Apparently it sold for $39,780.00.

It appears that every person who has owned Super X and sidecar that has done well at the point at Which they've decided to part with it.

Note: *** *** Motoexotica has 32.500verkauft the team as stated on the webpage for USD. On the linked page *** *** are very nice detail photos, and it is described how the machine has come into possession of Motexotica.
