I always PM Tom with more pictures and the number when I find one.
This is at the Chief Blackhawk fall international meet.
They call it a fall meet but it always hotter than blazes.
I started just a little before 8:00 AM Friday and finished
my first trip around11:30 AM. I’m getting too old for
all that walking.
The pickers store in Iowa is only 20 miles from here
so they always have a spot there. You don’t normally see
them together. Probably take turns at their space. Most
people aren’t looking to by anything. They are just wanting
to take a picture with them. I got to their space about 8:30
and no one was there so I got to look over the motor pretty
well. I got back there after noon and it took 10 minuets
to just ask Mike what they wanted for it. ($7,500.00) I’d
be surprised if they paid over $500.00.
Except for the dented tank it looked like a nice example.
Its Tomahawk for antique motorcycles.
There is a indoor building for show bikes, huge swap meet outside,
and races with old guys on old stuff.
Asking price for this original un-restored Flying Merkel is $200.000.00.
