Pretty rare bike obviously!
The bike that was auctioned off in Las Vegas was discovered as a complete motorcycle in a Wisconsin barn by David Uihlein in 1941. Uihlein kept it in his possession for the next 66 years.
The Strap Tank was then expertly restored by Paul Freehill of Fort Wayne, Indiana.
Of the 450 motorcycles produced by the company in 1908, less than 12 are believed to still be out in the world and even fewer are in the mostly original condition.

Re: Most expensive bike ever auctioned
I've never heard of Paul Freehill of Fort Wayne Indiana but I'm thinking this was pretty good advertisement for his restoration skills. If he specializes in restoring antique Harleys I wonder how much kitty litter he goes through per month :)
