Equipment
Started life as a stock BMW 1200R Cruiser, then it was molested by renowned crystal designer (whatever that is) Sheung Mei Liu who affixed $50,000 worth of Swarovski cystals to the tank and portions of the frame and fenders. These 200,000 hand applied crystals make this a one of a kind machine (thank goodness its the only one.) Used by designer Stuart Weitzman to make emergency shoe deliveries to stars such as Halle Berry, Jennifer Lopez and others during 2002 Oscar Week. Entertainment Tonights Mary Hart donated the bike to Childrens Miracle Network and it was raffled off in March 2004. The seller stated he would be making an additional donation to the charity from the proceeds. Described as the ultimate bling bling machine.
Market commentary
Alas bidding stopped at $15,000 and this reporter succeeded in keeping his hand down resulting in a no sale. Expect to see this perfect example of more money than taste again at the Rose Bowl Parade, various Shriner events and transporting VIPs at the Mardi Gras. Rumors that the BMW Owners Association have threatened to kidnap this monstrosity and recycle it on glass and bottle day are as yet unsubstantiated.
