My wife & I took the 1 hour & 45 minute drive today to visit Wili, the guy that was on American Pickers that has the White Castle in his front yard. He has tons of awesome stuff on his property, train station, church, gas station, barn, motel & not to mention bikes. I bought this black & grey spray painted Schwinn from him but also attached some pictures of his property.

It's actually like a little museum. Just google "green's heritage museum" we were the only people there. You should go check it out.

I agree, even though the Schwinn I got has been completely spray painted over, it has a springer & a straight bar tank that's worth $150. I can't stand when people ask ebay prices for stuff!!!!
 
Yeah if you want E-bay prices, put it on E-bay. I get sick of seeing the same bikes week after week on C-list and the price is like Ebay x2

Yeah, I've even been to places with cash in hand & they still want a billion dollars for their crap
 
What kind of bike is that in the fourth picture down with a gas tank and engine on it? Was it for sale and if it was did he give you a price?
