I bought a bike two years ago. The first one I had since I was a kid in the 1940's. I paid $100 for it and its a 21-speed. I am simply amazed at what I got. What in God's name does $14,000 buy..??..!
It's probably an six-thousand dollar bike -- I know, I know, but they do exist -- that, when someone called and said "Jay Leno wants a quote on the finest tandem bike you have", a sharp bike store owner "upgraded" on the spot.

If you're still riding a bike at your age, more power to you.
But to answer your question, what does $14,000.00 buy, I'd say that's about a year's supply of haircuts and manicures for Senator Kerry.
$13,900 worth of "name", as in "You pay for the name". Priced any Harleys lately? Or a Hummer? Or a Lincoln Navigator? Or a Cadillac Escalade? And so on.

EXTRA HEAVY DUTY frame and engineering for lard ass Hillary to ride with Bill, since they did say it was a tandem bike. The rest of the cost is liability insurance for the company that made the bike, since Hillary, Bill, sKerry and Edwards are all so good at suing all providers of goods and services in the USA.
