MIKE Wolfe and Jersey Jon have scored a major find after spotting a super rare motorcycle.
As fans await new episodes of American Pickers , the official TV show account has been sharing throwback clips on social media.
In one posted on Thursday, Mike , 60, and Jersey Jon , real name Jon Szalay, 60, headed out to California in the hopes of finding some precious antiques.
During a visit with a seller, the two TV stars spotted an old motorcycle on top of a pole.
It immediately caught their eyes and wanted to get it down for further inspection before making an offer to purchase.
In a confessional, Jon 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!”
‘YOU JUST DON’T SEE THESE THINGS’
However, the owner of the antique would get it down for them, but only if they made an offer.
Mike said, “Jersey, ya interested in this bicycle?”
Jon immediately said yes, “It’s amazing that we had an opportunity to even find this bike in the wild.
“You just don’t see these things. It’s surreal.”
Mike hesitated before offering the seller $10,000 with Jersey Jon adding another $2,000.
The seller then asked for $12,200 and the gentlemen agreed.
“I can’t tell you the last time I even had an opportunity to buy a 1941 Indian Four Cylinder Chassis,” Jon said.
