Jersey Jon went on to say as much in a confessional. He said, “This four-cylinder motorcycle is one of the rarest motorcycles in the world. We’re not gonna walk away from this chassis on a pole!”

Obviously, they wanted to get the bike down off the pole so they could get a better look at it. The owner of the motorcycle only agreed to take the bike down from the pole if they made an offer on it.

Mike asked his companion, “Jersey, ya interested in this bicycle?” Immediately, Jersey Jon said yes. “It’s amazing that we had an opportunity to even find this bike in the wild,” Jon exclaimed. “You just don’t see these things. It’s surreal.”

“I can’t tell you the last time I even had an opportunity to buy a 1941 Indian Four Cylinder Chassis,” Jon told cameras. “They don’t show up.”
