Pawn Stars Season 8 Episode 40 Gnarly Harley

Pawn Stars season 8 episode 40, titled "Gnarly Harley," follows the team at the World Famous Gold & Silver Pawn Shop as they examine a vintage Harley-Davidson motorcycle. The owner is looking to sell the bike and its sidecar, which he claims was used by Canadian troops during World War II.

Rick, Corey, and Chumlee are impressed with the rare find and bring in an expert to authenticate the bike's history. They learn that the motorcycle is a 1942 Harley-Davidson WLA, which was indeed used extensively by the Canadian military during the war. However, the experts cast some doubt on the provenance of the sidecar, which may have been added later.

As the negotiations continue, the team must determine whether the historical significance of the bike is enough to justify its high asking price. They must also consider the fact that the bike may require expensive restoration work to get it back into working condition.

Along the way, the team also interacts with a variety of colorful characters who bring in other interesting items for appraisal. These include a World War II sailor's uniform, a vintage railroad lantern, and a collection of antique circus posters.

As always, the team at the World Famous Gold & Silver Pawn Shop is on the lookout for rare and interesting items that they can add to their collection or resell at a profit. In "Gnarly Harley," they must balance their love of history and unique finds with their business sense and cost concerns to determine whether the vintage motorcycle is a good investment.
