Captain America chopper

Which one of you guys stole those bikes???

Quote:

The bike currently for sale was partially destroyed in the film's finale, the auction house says, and then rebuilt by actor Dan Haggerty. (The three other bikes used in the production were stolen prior to the film's release.)

I heard that some of the bikes were stolen.

About the only thing I have related to "Captain America" is a Franklin Mint model like this one. I started collecting them about 20 years ago when I bought my first HD-a 1991 1200 Sportster. I also have its movie road companion, the Billy Bike, the 57 Sportster, the AMF white "Boat tail" FX Shovelhead, one with a sidecar, and a 2003 100th Anniversary Road King and one or two more. They were very detailed and well crafted models. I didn't realize the Franklin Mint had gone out of business until someone told me of it not too long ago.
