- Straighten up.
Sorry.
JOE: Just one moment.
Hey, what's up, man?
Are you Joe?
How are you doing?
- I'm Joe. - I'm Mike.
So how are you doing?
Frank.
You could tell right away from meeting Joe--
he's definitely a character.
Talked to Dani on the phone.
Yes, I did.
OK, cool.
Yeah, she said you might be willing to sell a few things.
Let's go over to that building.
This one here?
Come in, boys.
All right.
Oh, man.
Whoa.
I think me and Joe are going to get along great.
Is any of this stuff for sale?
Absolutely.
[laughter]
This is nice, man.
Is this the original paint?
No.
This guy's got a 1942 WLA.
It's been restored a long time ago?
Yes.
This is a military bike that Harley Davidson made.
It's restored a long time ago.
So it looks like its original paint.
It's got the sweat.
It's got the dirt.
It's got the patina.
It's got the right look.
How much is this?
Can we think on it a few?
Hell, yeah.
I could tell that I was overstepping my boundaries.
And that's what you have to do as a picker sometimes.
You have to slow your roll.
You have to bring it back.
We got to get to know each other, exchange some stories,
talk about riding, and then get into the prices.
Oh, yeah.
Frankie, look at that.
FRANK FRITZ: Oh, that's pretty.
I look over in the corner here.
Here's this 1972 cherry red Triumph.
This a 250?
JOE: Yes.
Like a Tiger Cub?
Yes.
This could be my icebreaker.
Tell me a little bit about it.
It runs great.
I checked the tank for rust.
It was surprisingly clean.
Does the motor kick over, Mike?
I checked to see if the pistons were seized.
They weren't.
Oh, man, that baby's ready for you, Frankie.
Right here.
Joe, what do you value something like this at?
Well, I could let it go today, within the next 30 minutes--
30 minutes, huh?
For a grand.
$1,000.
You know what?
There's a little bit of money to be
made on this, even at $1,000.
Come on, Fonzie, sit on it.
Yeah. Oh, yeah.
There you go.
How's it feel?
Hmm.
JOE: It looks like it was made for you.
How about $800 within the next four minutes?
Let's go 9.
I knew he was going to come back at $900.
I should have said 7.
He'd have went 9.
I'd have went 8.
8 cash.
Uh....
He's got to check the reserves.
OK.
[laughs]
- 800? - Yes.
Deal.
That was a good motorcycle.
I've had it 20 years.
So it's time to start letting a few things go.
We've only been to one building.
We've already bought one bike.
So Frank can close the deal on his opening
offer on this Triumph, and I can't
even get a price on the Harley?
Something is wrong with this pick.
Where are we going?
We're going to this building.
To get this pick on course, I need to find something I want
to buy and Joe wants to sell.
Right this way, fellows.
Yeah, this is a very nice building here.
- Thank you. - There you go.
That's what we like.
Oh, that's nice, man.
Boom.
There it is.
A Harley Flathead 1935 restored all there.
Restore that?
Yes, basically.
I'd love to buy this thing.
Is this something you'd sell?
Probably.
Yeah.
[laughs] When's the last time it ran?
Eight years ago.
So I'm thinking, OK, if he hasn't ridden this bike,
he's not thinking much of it anymore.
How much is it?
What are you asking for this?
Rock bottom 18 grand.
18 grand.
If this Flathead had a 10-point restoration,
that would be the landing number on it.
How come you said rock bottom?
Just putting all your cards on the table?
He doesn't want you to go down.
For the restoration that's been done on it and the fact
that it doesn't run, at $18,000 I had to step away.
JOE: Come this way, boys.
MIKE WOLFE: All right, man.
Show me something I can't live without.
Oh, this is a graveyard?
This is my little graveyard.
[inaudible] 65.
There was a Honda there.
There was a Kawasaki.
There was an old dirt bike.
And right at the end, here's another Triumph.
That's the same bike you just bought, isn't it?
I know. It's kind of.
There you go, parts bike.
It can be a parts bike.
This bike is in Joe's graveyard.
But it makes a great project bike or a parts bike,
because it's almost complete.
How much is the parts bike?
You make me an offer.
MIKE WOLFE: Frank's got this big smile on his face,
like he opened up a box of moon pies or something.
$200.
That'd be the best I could do.
But I could get it out of your way for $200.
Probably no.
But then again, yes.
Dang!
This is Christmas.
Let's go, Santa Claus.
Good deal.
There you go, baby.
Joe said he wanted to lighten his load.
And I think I helped him do that.
Danielle really took care of me today.
I mean, I bought two motorcycles.
I got a great deal.
I met a great guy.
MIKE WOLFE: My side of the van is always
more full than Frankie's.
All of a sudden, I'm the guy that doesn't
have anything now on a pick.
You going up there?
Yeah, we got plenty.
I got the Triumph for $800.
I know I can get at least $1,500.
[cha-ching]
Appreciate you calling, man.
I'm going to take my wife somewhere.
- Oh, yeah, with the money? - Oh, that's good.
Yes.
All right, I'm sure she deserves it.
JOE: Oh, yes. - Good to meet you.
MIKE WOLFE: Thank you so much, Joe.
Thank you so much.
All right, we'll see you again.
All right.
I'm going to take my wife on a vacation.
And we're going to sit back and enjoy everything,
like I've enjoyed today.
See you later!
