Pawn Stars (2009–…): Season 3, Episode 12 - The Eagle Has Landed - full transcript

- IT'S A REALLY STURDY FRAME,
WEIGHS ABOUT 90 POUNDS.

- THIS MOTORCYCLE
FRAME HAS A WAYS TO GO.

- SPENT $5,000 ON IT.

- THIS IS SCRAP METAL TO ME.

- ALL RIGHT, THIS IS
WHAT I CALLED YOU ABOUT,

MY STARDUST BLACKJACK TABLE.

- THIS IS PRETTY COOL.

THE STARDUST WAS A VEGAS ICON.

PLAY YOU A HAND FOR IT.

- I'M NERVOUS FOR YOU, RICK.

- WHAT WE GOT TODAY?



- SOME COCA-COLA SIGNS.

- THESE ARE FROM THE '50s.
YOU GOT A LITTLE DAMAGE THERE.

I THINK I KNOW MORE OF WHAT
THEY'RE WORTH THAN YOU DO.

- I'M RICK HARRISON, AND
THIS IS MY PAWN SHOP.

I WORK HERE WITH MY OLD
MAN AND MY SON, BIG HOSS.

EVERYTHING IN HERE
HAS A STORY AND A PRICE.

ONE THING I'VE
LEARNED AFTER 21 YEARS,

YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT IS
GONNA COME THROUGH THAT DOOR.

- HEY, GUYS.

I GOT SOMETHING HERE I THINK
YOU MIGHT BE INTERESTED IN.

- OKAY.

- THEY'RE FOSSILS.

- DO YOU KNOW WHAT A FOSSIL IS?

- A WATCH?



- I DECIDED TO COME TO
THE PAWN SHOP TODAY

TO TRY TO SELL
SOME OF MY FOSSILS.

THEY'RE AROUND 290
MILLION YEARS OLD.

AND I'VE GOT FIVE PLANT
FOSSILS AND ONE SPIDER FOSSIL.

I'M HOPING TO GET AROUND
$1,200 FOR THE PIECES.

- ALL RIGHT, SO TELL ME
EVERYTHING ABOUT THESE THINGS.

- WELL, THEY'RE AROUND
290 MILLION YEARS OLD.

THEY'RE FROM THE MAZON
CREEK DEPOSIT, FROM ILLINOIS.

IT'S ONE OF THE MOST FAMOUS
FOSSIL DEPOSITS IN THE WORLD.

- WHAT KIND OF PLANTS ARE THEY?

- THESE ARE ALL JUST FERNS.

THIS ONE'S REALLY COOL.

IT'S ACTUALLY MUTATED
AND SPLIT INTO TWO TIPS.

I'VE NEVER SEEN
ANOTHER ONE LIKE IT.

THIS ONE HERE, IT'S
ACTUALLY... IT'S A SPIDER.

IT'S ONE OF THE FIRST INSECTS
THAT WERE EVER AROUND.

- THAT'S AMAZING.

- FOSSILS ARE BASICALLY
PLANTS AND ANIMALS

THAT HAVE BEEN
PRESERVED IN STONE.

THEY'RE AN INCREDIBLE
RECORD OF ANCIENT EARTH.

AND THE MAZON CREEK AREA
IS ONE OF THE BEST PLACES

ON THE EARTH TO FIND THEM.

BUT THESE ARE THE FIRST ONES

I'VE EVER HAD LIKE
THIS IN MY SHOP...

UNLESS, OF COURSE,
YOU COUNT THE OLD MAN.

SO WHEN YOU FOUND THESE THINGS,

YOU HAD TO SPLIT
THEM OPEN YOURSELF?

- YEAH, CRACK THEM OPEN BY HAND.

- HOW DO YOU BREAK
THESE THINGS IN HALF?

- WITH A HAMMER,
JUST VERY CAREFULLY.

YOU'VE GOT TO TAP
ROUND THE EDGES.

- YOU EVER CRACK ONE OPEN
AND IT JUST FALL INTO PIECES?

- LOTS OF TIMES, YEAH.

- I THINK THESE
FOSSILS LOOK AWESOME.

BUT I HAVE NO WAY
TO AUTHENTICATE

IF THEY CAME FROM MAZON
CREEK OR IF THEY'RE EVEN REAL.

BECAUSE LET'S BE HONEST:

PALEONTOLOGY IS A LITTLE
BIT OUT OF MY LEAGUE.

WHAT DID YOU WANT
TO DO WITH THESE?

- I'D LIKE TO SELL THEM.

- AND HOW MUCH DID
YOU WANT FOR THEM?

- I'D LIKE RIGHT AROUND $1,200
FOR THE ENTIRE COLLECTION.

- HERE'S MY CONCERNS.

I JUST DON'T KNOW ENOUGH
ABOUT THESE THINGS.

I MEAN, LITERALLY, I DON'T
KNOW IF THIS IS PAINTED ON THERE.

IT'S NOT THAT I DON'T TRUST YOU.

IT'S JUST THAT I
DON'T TRUST ANYBODY.

LET ME CALL SOMEONE,
GET HIM DOWN HERE.

WE'LL GET EVERYTHING
FIGURED OUT, OKAY?

- NO PROBLEM.
- OKAY.

THANKS.

- THANKS A LOT.

I'M LOOKING FORWARD
TO THE EXPERT COMING IN

AND GIVING SOME INFORMATION
ABOUT THESE FOILS.

I KNOW THEY'RE WORTH
MONEY. I KNOW THEY'RE RARE.

IT'S JUST NICE TO HEAR SOMEONE
ELSE SAY THE SAME THING.

- WHAT'S UP, MAN?

- HOW'S IT GOING?
- GOING GOOD.

SO TELL ME WHAT
YOU BROUGHT IN, MAN.

- I GOT A DOWN AND DIRTY

SOFTAIL SPRINGER
FRONT END BIKE FRAME.

COST ME $5,000.

I'VE GOT FOUR KIDS.

MY WIFE'S PREGNANT
WITH NUMBER FIVE.

I JUST DON'T THINK I'M
GONNA HAVE THE TIME

OR THE MONEY TO FIX IT UP.

- SO YOU COULD AFFORD TO
BUILD A BIKE WITH FOUR KIDS,

BUT FIVE'S JUST TOO MUCH?

- JUST PUTS IT OVER THE TOP.

COME TO THE PAWN SHOP

TO TRY TO SELL MY DOWN
AND DIRTY BIKE FRAME.

DOWN AND DIRTY'S A
GOOD-QUALITY AMERICAN FRAME.

IT'S MORE OF A CRUISING BIKE,
NOT A CROSS-COUNTRY BIKE,

SOMETHING YOU DRIVE AROUND TOWN.

I BOUGHT THE BIKE FRAME
IN HOPES OF FIXING IT UP

AND HAVING A PROJECT.

NO MORE TIME, NO MORE MONEY.

- YOU GOT THE
STATEMENT OF ORIGIN?

BECAUSE IF YOU DON'T,
THIS IS SCRAP METAL TO ME.

- YEAH, I'VE GOT IT.

IT'S ALL RIGHT THERE.

- AND IT'S A DOWN
AND DIRTY SOFTAIL.

INSTEAD OF BEING ISSUED A TITLE,

MOST FRAMES ARE GIVEN

A MANUFACTURER'S
CERTIFICATE OF ORIGIN,

WHICH PRETTY MUCH
JUST TELLS YOU WHAT IT IS

AND WHERE IT CAME FROM.

YOU KNOW, THE GOOD THING
ABOUT DOWN AND DIRTY IS,

THEY'RE A GOOD AMERICAN
COMPANY LIKE HARLEY.

THE WELDS AREN'T GONNA SNAP

WHILE YOU'RE RIDING
IT DOWN THE ROAD.

- YEAH, YEAH, I WAS LOOKING
FOR A GOOD AMERICAN BIKE.

- WE GET A LOT OF
BIKES IN THE SHOP,

BUT IT'S NOT EVERY DAY SOMEONE
BRINGS IN A FRAME LIKE THIS.

IT'S DEFINITELY A PROJECT
THAT HAS A WAYS TO GO.

YOU GOT THE SPRINGER FRONT END,

WHICH DOESN'T GIVE
YOU MUCH THERE,

BUT IT'S SOMETHING.

AND THEN YOU GOT
THE SOFTAIL SHOCKS.

WHEN YOU'RE SITTING ON IT,
THEY'RE ACTUALLY COMPRESSED.

AND IF YOU GO UP AND
THE TIRE SWINGS OUT

ON A BUMP OR SOMETHING,

THE SHOCKS ACTUALLY COME OUT.

THEY'RE ACTUALLY A
REALLY COOL DESIGN.

- YEAH, I PUT A LITTLE BIT
OF WORK IN PUTTING THOSE IN

JUST TO ADD A LITTLE BIT
OF COMFORT TO THE RIDE.

- YOU LOOKING TO
SELL IT OR PAWN IT?

- SELL IT. I SPENT $5,000.

I'D LIKE TO SEE IF I
COULD GET $6,000 FOR IT.

- NO OFFENSE, BUT I CAN
JUST CALL DOWN AND DIRTY

AND GET ONE FOR $5,000.

- SO WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO
GO A LITTLE BIT BELOW THERE.

- I COULD GO DOWN TO $4,000.

- I'D LIKE TO OFFER YOU

SOMEWHERE AROUND
$2,000 ON IT, MAN.

- $2,000?

- I KNOW YOU HAD BIG,
GIANT HIGH HOPES FOR IT,

BUT LET'S JUST FACE IT, MAN.

YOU GOT FIVE KIDS NOW.

IT'S TIME TO STOP
RIDING MOTORCYCLES.

- I'VE PUT SOME WORK INTO
IT. I'VE SPENT $5,000 ON IT.

I CAN... I'LL TAKE $3,000.

$3,000?

YEAH, I COULD DO $3,000, MAN.

LET'S GO WRITE IT UP.

- I'M A LITTLE DISAPPOINTED IN
GETTING THE $3,000 FOR THE BIKE.

I WAS HOPING TO MAKE
A LITTLE MONEY OFF IT.

BUT WITH KID NUMBER
FIVE COMING PRETTY SOON,

I GOT TO PAY FOR THE
DIAPERS SOMEHOW.

- THIS MOTORCYCLE FRAME

IS THE OPPORTUNITY
I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR

TO SHOW MY DAD AND THE OLD
MAN THAT I'M AN ENTREPRENEUR.

IF I CAN BUILD THIS
BIKE UP AND FLIP IT,

I CAN MAKE A LOT OF MONEY,

OR I COULD LOSE MY SHIRT,
BUT I THINK IT'S WORTH THE RISK.

- THIS MORNING, A
GUY CALLED THE SHOP

LOOKING TO SELL
A BLACKJACK TABLE

FROM THE OLD STARDUST CASINO.

I LOVE CLASSIC LAS VEGAS STUFF,

SO I'M HEADED OVER WITH
CHUM TO CHECK IT OUT.

- ALL RIGHT, THIS IS
WHAT I CALLED YOU ABOUT,

MY STARDUST BLACKJACK TABLE.

- I'M GONNA SIT DOWN.
- GET COMFORTABLE.

WHERE'D YOU GET THIS THING?

- I BOUGHT THIS FROM THE AUCTION

THAT THE STARDUST HAD
AFTER THEY CLOSED IN 2006.

- HOW DO YOU PLAY BLACKJACK?

- YOU'VE LIVED IN LAS
VEGAS YOUR WHOLE LIFE

AND DON'T KNOW HOW
TO PLAY BLACKJACK?

- I DECIDED TO CALL THE
GUYS AT THE PAWN SHOP

TO SEE WHAT I COULD GET
FOR MY BLACKJACK TABLE

FROM THE STARDUST.

I LIKE THIS TABLE
BECAUSE IT COMES

FROM AN ACTUAL LAS VEGAS ICON.

I MEAN, IT'S JUST A HUGE
PIECE OF LOCAL HISTORY.

- DO YOU KNOW MUCH
ABOUT THE STARDUST?

- WHAT I KNOW ABOUT THE STARDUST

IS THAT IT WAS
ORIGINALLY OPENED IN 1958

BY A MOB-RUN ORGANIZATION.

- OH, WELL, ACTUALLY, IT WAS
RUN BY SORT OF A REGULAR GUY,

AND THEN SOME OTHER PEOPLE
SORT OF, LIKE, TOOK IT OVER.

- OH, OKAY.
- YOU EVER SEE THE MOVIE CASINO?

- YES, AND I KNOW THAT THE
MOVIE WAS BASED OFF OF THIS.

- YEAH, IT WAS A
PRETTY NEAT PLACE.

IT WAS MY... I GOT MY FIRST,
LIKE, PAYROLL JOB THERE.

- YOU WORKED FOR THE MOB?

NO, I WORKED IN THE
COFFEE SHOP THERE.

I WORKED THERE FOR
FOUR WEEKS AND GOT FIRED.

- HOW DID YOU GET FIRED?

- BY ACTING LIKE YOU.

WHEN THE STARDUST
OPENED UP IN 1958,

IT WAS THE HOTTEST
SPOT ON THE STRIP,

AND IT WAS A VEGAS ICON
FOR ALMOST 50 YEARS.

WHAT DO YOU WANT
TO DO WITH IT TODAY?

- I WOULD LIKE TO SELL IT.

- HOW MUCH DO YOU WANT FOR IT?

- I WAS THINKING $2,500

FOR THE WHOLE SIX
CHAIRS AND THE TABLE.

I JUST DON'T SEE IT.

I'M THINKING MORE
LIKE 500 BUCKS.

- I REALLY THINK IT'S
WORTH A LOT MORE.

WITH THE HISTORICAL
VALUE OF THE CASINO

AND THE HISTORY
BEHIND THIS TOWN,

KNOWING THAT THERE ARE
COLLECTORS OUT THERE,

WOULD YOU GO $1,000?

- I'LL GO $550.

I'LL HAVE MY GUYS COME
DOWN HERE TOMORROW

WITH A PICKUP TRUCK.

- WOULD YOU GO $650?

I'LL TELL YOU WHAT:

PLAY YOU A HAND FOR IT.

- $550, YOU WIN. $650, I WIN.

- LET'S DO IT.

- I'M NERVOUS FOR YOU, RICK.

- DEAL THE CARDS.

- OH, EIGHT.

- OH, MY GOD.

HIT ME.

- 17.

- THAT'S PRETTY GOOD.

- 17'S GOOD.

18'S BETTER.

ALL RIGHT, $650.

- THANK YOU.

- THE GUYS WILL BE BY IN
THE MORNING TO PICK IT UP.

IT SEEMS LIKE EVERY TIME I
GAMBLE FOR SOMETHING, I LOSE.

BUT THIS IS A GREAT
BLACKJACK TABLE,

AND FOR 650 BUCKS,

I WIN EITHER WAY.

THIS BEING VEGAS,

I'LL HAVE NO TROUBLE SELLING IT.

- WHAT WE GOT TODAY?

- SOME COCA-COLA SIGNS.

- OH, OKAY.

THESE ARE PROBABLY
FROM THE '50s.

YOU EITHER DRANK
COKE OR PEPSI BACK THEN.

THAT WAS IT.

IF YOU WANTED
SOMETHING WITHOUT SUGAR,

YOU GOT COFFEE.

- YOU CAN PUT SUGAR IN COFFEE.

- CHUMLEE, PLEASE.

- I DECIDED TO COME TO
THE PAWN SHOP TODAY

TO SELL MY FATHER'S
COCA-COLA SIGNS.

THEY'RE VALUED AT
AROUND $450 APIECE.

I WOULD LIKE TO SELL
THEM FOR AROUND $250.

AND MY BOTTOM LINE
WOULD BE PROBABLY $200.

- WELL, THEY'RE DEFINITELY
COCA-COLA SIGNS.

WHERE DID YOU ACQUIRE THEM?

- MY FATHER TRAVELED ALL OVER,

AND HE HAS QUITE A COLLECTION.

- I REALLY LIKE THESE SIGNS
AND STUFF FROM THIS ERA

BECAUSE THEY HAD A
GREAT ADVERTISING MARKET.

BACK IN THE DAY,

ADVERTISING SIGNS
WAS BEAUTIFULLY MADE,

NOT LIKE TODAY, WHEN THEY'RE
MADE OUT OF CHEAP PLASTIC

AND THEY ONLY LAST A FEW YEARS.

BACK THEN, COKE AND PEPSI,

THEY WERE ALL MADE
WITH CANE SUGAR.

AND THEN THEY WENT TO CORN SYRUP

BECAUSE IT'S CHEAPER.

AND THEY DO NOT
HAVE THE SAME TASTE.

WHEN YOU DRINK
A PEPSI OR A COKE,

YOU COULD ACTUALLY HAVE
YOUR EYES ALMOST BURNING,

THERE WAS SO MUCH
CARBONATION IN THEM.

AND THEY WERE GOOD.

COCA-COLA HAS
CHANGED ITS FORMULA

A FEW TIMES OVER THE YEARS.

BUT THE LOGO ON THE
BOTTLE HAS STAYED THE SAME

FOR OVER 100 YEARS.

NOT MANY COMPANIES CAN SAY THAT.

WHAT ARE YOU WANTING
TO DO, YOUNG LADY?

YOU WANT TO SELL THEM,
PAWN THEM, OR WHAT?

- YEAH, WE'D LIKE TO SELL THEM.

- YOU GOT ANY IDEA
WHAT YOU'RE TRYING

TO GET OUT OF THEM?

- $450 APIECE.

- I'M KIND OF STUMPED.

I WOULD LIKE TO BUY THESE,

BUT I REALLY DON'T WANT
TO INSULT YOU WITH AN OFFER,

BECAUSE I THINK I KNOW MORE

OF WHAT THEY'RE
WORTH THAN YOU DO.

I WOULD PUSH YOU
TO GO $100 APIECE.

I REALLY WOULD.

YOU GOT A LITTLE DAMAGE
THERE ON THIS ONE.

THIS ONE'S STARTING TO GET
A LITTLE RUST ON THE BACK.

- OKAY.

I DON'T THINK I'LL TAKE
$100 FOR THEM TODAY.

- YOU WANT TO CHECK AROUND.

MOST PEOPLE, WHEN
THEY CHECK AROUND,

THEY COME BACK,
SO IT'S UP TO YOU.

- I'LL GIVE THEM TO
YOU FOR $150 APIECE.

- UH...

I'LL TELL YOU WHAT I'LL DO.

I DON'T WANT TO, BUT
I'LL SPLIT IT WITH YOU.

I'LL GO $125 EACH.

BUT THAT'S THE BEST I CAN DO.

- $125?

- YEAH, THAT WOULD
BE TOP OF THE MARK.

- OKAY, WELL, YOU'RE GETTING
YOURSELF A GOOD DEAL, THEN.

- ALL RIGHT, WE
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

WE'LL DO THE PAPERWORK
RIGHT OVER THERE, YOUNG LADY.

- I WENT A LOT LOWER
THAN I HAD EXPECTED TO GO,

BUT COLLECTORS ARE
WHAT'S GONNA PAY,

AND THEY'RE HARD TO FIND.

- EARLIER TODAY, A GUY BROUGHT
IN A COLLECTION OF FOSSILS.

I DON'T EVEN KNOW
IF THEY'RE REAL

OR IF THEY'RE VALUABLE,

SO I CALLED IN MY BUDDY SCOTT
TO HAVE A CLOSER LOOK AT THEM.

- HOW YOU DOING,
CHUM? HEY, RICK.

- HOW'S IT GOING?
- GOOD, REAL GOOD.

I'M DR. SCOTT FOSS.

I'M THE REGIONAL PALEONTOLOGIST

FOR THE BUREAU OF
LAND MANAGEMENT,

AND I STUDY FOSSILS.

WHOA, WHAT DO YOU HAVE HERE?

- THIS IS IT...
APPARENTLY FOSSILS.

I JUST WANTED TO MAKE
SURE THEY WERE ALL REAL.

- WHAT CAN YOU
TELL ME ABOUT THEM?

WHERE DID YOU COLLECT THEM?

- FROM THE MAZON CREEK
FORMATION IN ILLINOIS.

- UH-HUH.

DID THEY ALL COME
FROM THE SAME AREA,

OR ARE THEY FROM
DIFFERENT AREAS?

- SAME AREA.

- THERE'S A FEW THINGS HERE.

THIS ONE APPEARS TO HAVE
BROKEN AND BEEN REPAIRED.

LOOKING AT THEM...

THESE ARE SOME OF THE
NICER ONES THAT I'VE SEEN.

THEY ARE ABSOLUTELY REAL.

- SO AN ARTIST DIDN'T
PAINT THESE ON?

- NO, THESE ARE ABSOLUTELY REAL.

THEY'RE CARBON
IMPRESSIONS OF ORGANISMS

THAT LIVED ON PLANET
EARTH 300 MILLION YEARS AGO.

- I WONDER WHAT THE EARTH
LOOKED LIKE 300 MILLION YEARS AGO.

- WELL, 300 MILLION YEARS
AGO, THIS AREA OF ILLINOIS

WAS THIS MASSIVE KIND
OF WHOLE SWAMP AREA.

THE CENTRAL UNITED
STATES WAS FURTHER SOUTH,

AND ILLINOIS WAS RIGHT
NEAR THE EQUATOR.

THAT WAS A TROPICAL ENVIRONMENT.

IT WAS LIKE BEING IN
THE YUCATAN OF MEXICO,

ONLY THAT WAS CENTRAL ILLINOIS.

THIS ONE IS VERY INTERESTING.

IT IS A SPIDER.

A 300-MILLION-YEAR-OLD SPIDER

HAS FOUND ITS WAY
TO LAS VEGAS TODAY.

JUST THE COOL
FACTOR OF THAT ALONE,

I MEAN, COLLECTORS ALL OVER
THE WORLD LOVE TO FIND THESE.

- THANKS, SCOTT. I
REALLY APPRECIATE IT.

- OH, ABSOLUTELY,
RICK. IT'S MY PLEASURE.

LOVE TO LOOK AT A
FOSSIL ANYTIME WE CAN.

- OKAY, THANKS.

- IF IT WASN'T FOR THE
AMATEUR COMMUNITY,

WE WOULDN'T HAVE
HALF OF THE NEAT FOSSILS

THAT WE FIND TODAY.

- ALL RIGHT, SO HOW MUCH DID
YOU WANT FOR THESE THINGS?

- WELL, I DID WANT $1,200

FOR THE QUALITY, FOR THE SIZE.

- THERE'S A COLLECTORS'
MARKET FOR THIS,

BUT A LOT OF
COLLECTORS JUST LIKE

TO GO GET THEM
THEMSELVES LIKE YOU.

- RIGHT.

- IT'S A LOT OF WORK,

BUT IT'S SORT OF,
LIKE, HALF THE FUN.

I'LL GIVE YOU 800 BUCKS.

- JUST THE SPIDER FOSSIL ALONE

IS PROBABLY WORTH AT LEAST $600,

AT LEAST, JUST FOR THAT ONE.

- LIKE I SAID, I HAVE
TO RESELL THEM, OKAY?

I'LL GO A GRAND. I
CAN'T GO NO MORE.

I MEAN, THAT'S WHAT I'LL DO.

- I'M LOOKING FOR JUST A
LITTLE BIT MORE THAN THAT.

I MEAN, LIKE I SAID, I WISH I
COULD MAKE A DEAL WITH YOU,

BUT I CAN'T LET
THEM GO FOR $1,000.

I'M SORRY.

- I'LL GO $1,100.

- CASH MONEY?

- CASH MONEY, 1,100 BUCKS.

- SOUNDS GOOD. DEAL.

$1,100'S A FAIR OFFER.

HE'LL MAKE MONEY.
I'LL MAKE MONEY.

WE'RE BOTH HAPPY.
THAT'S WHAT MATTERS.

- EARLIER, I BOUGHT A
MOTORCYCLE FRAME FOR 3 GRAND.

SO RIGHT NOW, CHUM AND I

ARE ON OUR WAY TO
MY BUDDY DANNY'S SHOP

TO SEE ABOUT GETTING IT
TURNED INTO A CUSTOM BIKE.

- WHAT'S UP, COREY?
- WHAT'S GOING ON, MAN?

- HOW YOU DOING, BROTHER?
- ALWAYS GOOD, BRO.

- GOOD, MAN. GOOD
TO YOU SEE YOU.

I'M DANNY KOKER, AND I
OWN COUNT'S KUSTOMS

RIGHT HERE IN LAS VEGAS,
WHERE WE BUILD WICKED CHOPS,

COOL HOT RODS, AND
DECK OUT PEOPLE'S TOYS.

WHAT DID YOU GUYS
BRING US TODAY?

- I BROUGHT YOU A
BLANK CANVAS, DUDE.

- HA-HA.

CHOPPERS ARE COOL
BECAUSE THEY'RE

A PERSONAL EXPRESSION
OF THE PERSON THAT OWNS IT

AND/OR WHO'S RIDING
IT OR WHO'S BUILDING IT.

YOU GET TO EXPRESS
YOUR PERSONAL FEELINGS

IN A ROLLING PIECE OF ARTWORK.

GENTLEMEN, TELL
ME ABOUT THIS FRAME.

DO YOU GUYS KNOW
ANYTHING ABOUT IT,

ANY SPECS, ANYTHING LIKE THAT?

- DOWN AND DIRTY SOFTAIL FRAME.

- LOOKS SORT OF LIKE A MIDWEST.

- IT DOES LOOK LIKE A
MIDWEST, DOESN'T IT?

UH-HUH.
- YEP, LITTLE BOBBER.

- A BOBBER IS A REAL BASIC
STRIPPED-DOWN VERSION

OF A CUSTOM BIKE.

THEY'VE BEEN AROUND
SINCE THE 1940s.

I REALLY LIKE THE BOBBER STYLE,
MAN, BUT I'VE NEVER SEEN ONE

THAT LOOKED LIKE
IT WOULD FIT ME.

I ALWAYS LOOK
LIKE I'M, YOU KNOW,

THE GUINNESS BOOK
OF RECORDS FAT GUY

ON A LITTLE MOTORCYCLE.

GOTCHA.

- THE FRAME LOOKS BIG ENOUGH
TO WHERE WE COULD MAYBE

DO THAT STYLE BUT
I COULD FIT ON IT.

- IT'LL BE THE RIGHT SIZE TO BE
FUN ENOUGH TO TOSS AROUND,

BUT YET IT'S STILL BIG ENOUGH

TO BE, YOU KNOW,
SOMETHING FOR A BIG BOY.

SO IT SHOULD BE A FUN
BIKE WHEN IT'S DONE.

LET'S TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT
THE CASH ISSUE ON THIS, MAN.

WHAT DID YOU GUYS GET FOR THIS?

- I GAVE THE GUY $3,000
FOR THE WHOLE SETUP.

- OKAY, YOU KNOW, WE CAN BUILD
JUST ABOUT ANYTHING YOU WANT.

YOU'RE ONLY LIMITED BY YOUR
IMAGINATION AND YOUR WALLET.

- YOU KNOW, I CAN'T GO
TOO CRAZY, 'CAUSE I'LL HAVE

THE OLD MAN AND
MY DAD ON MY ASS.

- I GOT YOU.

- I THINK 12 GRAND'S A
GOOD PLACE TO START.

- OKAY, I THINK THAT'S
A FAIR PLACE TO START.

WE CAN DEFINITELY MAKE SOMETHING
HAPPEN WITH THAT FOR SURE.

- THIS IS WHERE I GOT
TO BE REAL CAREFUL

TO NOT LET THIS THING
TURN INTO A MONEY PIT.

I'VE SEEN CUSTOM CHOPPERS
SELL UPWARDS OF $50,000.

IF WE DO IT RIGHT, THERE'S
PLENTY OF ROOM FOR PROFIT.

YOU KNOW, MAN, THIS IS
GONNA BE MY FIRST BUILD, MAN,

SO I'M KIND OF
LOOKING FORWARD TO IT.

- I'M GLAD YOU BROUGHT
IT HERE, BROTHER,

AND, YOU KNOW,
WE'LL MAKE YOU PROUD.

I LOVE THE FACT THAT
COREY AND CHUMLEE

BASICALLY DROPPED
IT OFF AND SAID,

"YOU KNOW WHAT, YOU GUYS?
WE'VE GOT 'X' AMOUNT OF DOLLARS.

WE WANT YOU GUYS TO JUST
DO WHATEVER YOU WANT."

AND I THINK BY THE TIME
IT'S DONE, IT'LL BE GORGEOUS

- A FEW WEEKS AGO, I
DROPPED OFF A FRAME

AT MY BUDDY DANNY'S.

SINCE THIS IS MY
FIRST CUSTOM BIKE,

I KIND OF JUST LET
DANNY ROLL WITH IT,

I MEAN, 'CAUSE HE'S THE MAN.

I'M PRETTY EXCITED,
AND I CAN'T WAIT

TO SEE HOW THIS THING TURNS OUT.

- SO YOU GUYS TOLD ME
YOU WERE BRINGING ME

A BIKE DOWN HERE THAT
YOU WANTED WORKED ON,

BUT WHAT YOU GUYS
ACTUALLY BROUGHT ME

WAS A FRAME AND A FRONT END.

- WE FIGURED YOU'D
HAVE THE REST.

YOU'RE RIGHT.

YOU GUYS READY TO CHECK IT OUT?

- COME ON, MAN,
LET'S SEE THIS THING.

- COCONUT, COME ON,
MAN, FIRE THAT THING UP.

YEAH.

WOW.

- NOW, THAT'S A BADASS MACHINE.

- IT'S EVERY SINGLE
THING I WANTED, MAN.

THAT'S EXACTLY
HOW I PICTURED IT.

I... I MEAN, I KNOW
YOU DID A LOT,

BUT YOU WANT TO GO
OVER EVERYTHING WITH ME?

- ABSOLUTELY, MAN.

WE'LL GIVE YOU THE GRAND TOUR.

WE USED YOUR FRONT END,
WHICH WAS A DNA SPRINGER:,

THE FRAME THAT YOU BROUGHT US,

WHICH IS A MIDWEST
SOFTAIL FRAME.

WE WENT WITH A GENUINE
HARLEY-DAVIDSON MOTOR.

IT'S ALL BLACK AND CHROME.

WE WENT WITH A REVTEK
SIX-SPEED TRANSMISSION,

SO YOU'VE GOT OVERDRIVE
OUT ON THE HIGHWAY,

WHICH IS FANTASTIC.

CUSTOM TIN,

CUSTOM STRUTS, CUSTOM SEAT.

ON THE PAINT, YOU KNOW, WE WENT

WITH THAT SATIN
BLACK THAT YOU WANTED

AND THEN BLACK
POWDER-COATED RIMS

FRONT AND REAR ON IT.

YOU KNOW, THE WHOLE
FLAVOR OF THE BIKE

IS THAT DARK, NASTY
BLACK VERSUS CHROME.

SHE'S BAD, MAN.

SHE'S REALLY COME
TOGETHER BEAUTIFULLY.

- EVERYTHING I WANTED
ABOUT IT IS THERE, MAN.

- SHE'S GORGEOUS.

- THIS BIKE LOOKS AMAZING,

AND THESE GUYS DID A GREAT JOB.

IT JUST LOOKS LIKE THEY PUT
WAY MORE THAN 12 GRAND INTO IT.

WHEN WE STARTED
IT, YOU SAID 12-ISH.

- YEAH, "ISH" IS THE KEY, RIGHT?

- YEAH, I KNOW THERE'S
NO WAY YOU DID THIS FOR 12.

- RIGHT.

BETWEEN EVERYTHING THAT
GOES INTO A CUSTOM BIKE...

AND THERE'S SO MUCH
STUFF THAT YOU DON'T SEE...

WE CAME IN MORE CLOSER TO
THE 15 NUMBER ON THE BUILD.

- WE KIND OF
FIGURED ON THAT ONE.

- THAT'S WHAT YOU GET WHEN
YOU GET THE CUSTOM TOUCHES.

YOU'VE GOT WHAT IN THE
FRAME AND THE FRONT END?

- I GOT 3 GRAND IN THE
FRAME AND FRONT END.

- SO YOU'RE LOOKING AT 18.

THIS BIKE ALL DAY LONG
SHOULD BE IN THE MID-20s OR UP.

SO YOU'RE IN GOOD SHAPE.

- RIGHT ON, MAN, THAT'S...

YOU KNOW, I DON'T
MIND PAYING THE EXTRA.

I WAS A LITTLE BUMMED TO HEAR
IT WAS 3 GRAND OVER BUDGET,

BUT AFTER SEEING IT,

I MEAN, IT'S DEFINITELY
WORTH EVERY PENNY.

I WOULD HAVE ONLY
MADE ABOUT 500 BUCKS

IF I SOLD THE FRAME BY ITSELF.

BUT NOW I'M GONNA BE ABLE
TO MAKE ABOUT TEN TIMES THAT.

HELL, I MIGHT EVEN
KEEP IT FOR MYSELF.

WELL, I'M GONNA TAKE
THIS BACK TO THE SHOP

AFTER A QUICK TEST RIDE THERE.

- NICE, BROTHER.

GOOD LUCK, MAN. TEAR IT UP.

- I'M PSYCHED TO
RIDE THIS THING,

AND I'M IN NO HURRY TO
GET BACK TO THE SHOP.

MAYBE I'LL JUST TAKE
THE SCENIC ROUTE HOME.

- CHUM, WHERE'S COREY?

- HE'S OUT RIDING HIS BIKE.

- YOU TALKING ABOUT THE
BIKE YOU GUYS JUST PICKED UP?

- YEAH.

- THAT'S NOT HIS
BIKE. IT'S MY BIKE.

- IT'S NICE. YOU SHOULD SEE IT.

- HOW MUCH DID IT COST TO
HAVE THIS BIKE PUT TOGETHER?

- I THINK IT WAS 18 AFTER...

- $18,000?
- OH, MY GOD.

- IT'S SWEET, THOUGH.

WAIT TILL YOU SEE THIS THING.

- I'M GONNA KICK
HIS ASS SO HARD,

HE'S GONNA WEAR
HIS ASS FOR A HAT.

- SO WHERE IS HE AT RIGHT NOW?

- HE'S RIGHT THERE.

- WHY ARE YOU DRIVING
AROUND MY BRAND-NEW BIKE

THAT'S SUPPOSED TO GO
ON THE SHOWROOM FLOOR?

- 'CAUSE I'M THINKING
ABOUT KEEPING IT.

IT'S GOING ON THE DAMN FLOOR.

- OLD MAN, WHAT KIND OF WATCH
ARE YOU WEARING RIGHT NOW?

- I'M WEARING A ROLEX, SON.

- WHERE DID YOU GET IT?

- I BOUGHT THE DAMN THING
OUT OF THE STORE HERE.

- I MEAN, AND YOU,
YOU'RE USING A FOSSIL

YOU JUST BOUGHT
AS A PAPERWEIGHT.

- YEAH, I'M GONNA SELL
IT. DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT.

- AND I'LL SELL
THE BIKE ONE DAY.

- IT'S GONNA BE USED THEN.

- THAT'S A USED FOSSIL NOW.

IT'S NOT A USED...

THERE'S NO SUCH DAMN
THING AS A USED FOSSIL.

- SO WHY CAN'T I BUY
THE BIKE FROM HERE?

YOU GOT THREE DAMN OPTIONS.

YOU PAY ME CASH FOR THE BIKE,

YOU PUT IT BACK
ON THE DAMN FLOOR

WHERE I CAN SELL IT,

OR YOU SELL SOME OF
YOUR DAMN TOYS AT HOME.

SELL SOMETHING, GIVE
US OUR DAMN CASH,

OR IT'S GONNA BE THIRD
GRADE ALL OVER AGAIN

AND I'M GONNA KICK
YOUR DAMN ASS.

- THE WALK OF SHAME.

- IT'S GONNA BE
ALL RIGHT, BIG HOSS.

WE'LL FIND A GOOD HOME FOR IT.

- SHUT UP, CHUM.
