Can’t afford a Harley Davidson? …. Enter the Hardknock
Ok, so it’s not quite a Harley, but it’s a fraction of the cost at US$1,699.00 and looks the same!
It’s called a Hardknock and is a bobber in a traditional “old school” style featuring a springer front suspension, forward controls, jockey shift, electric start, solo seat, hydraulic disk brake, chrome plated TIG welded 4130 chrome-moly frame, and either a 49cc or 110cc 4-speed 4-stroke engine.
It has a 15” rear wheel and an 18” front and there’s not an ounce of plastic to be found. It is comprised of numerous polished billet aluminum components and chrome plated alloy steel.
It requires assembly so you can teach the little one a thing or two along the way. Makes a fun little project. It can be ordered in black primer or in one of the custom paint schemes so you can pimp your own bike up!

On the 3rd December 2007 a new world record was set. A Rolls Royce sold for £3.5m at a London auction, but it wasn’t any ordinary Roller… it was the world’s oldest and built in 1904. It has a 10hp engine and was the fourth car ever produced by Charles Stewart Rolls and Frederick Henry Royce.
The car was initially estimated at around £1 million but frenzied bidding left the value at £3,521,500, the highest ever paid for a car in the veteran class, which means it was produced before 1905. A private British collector tabled the winning offer to ensure that the car will remain in the UK.
Stewart Skilbeck, senior motoring specialist at Bonhams, explained that global enquiries helped push the value so high.
“We’ve had very strong interest from across the world, generally from major collectors who already hold significant Rolls-Royce motorcars and this would be a trophy in any collection,” he said, but this car need not be confined to a museum.
“It’s a very driveable car. It still tootles along beautifully and almost silently, as you’d expect a Rolls-Royce to do. It has a top speed of 40 miles per hour.”
