Gentlemen,
Looking at that old picture of Charley on his Mini Trail got me thinking about where that bike is now. I don't have the phone number of the guy I sold it to 20 years ago. He bought it for his son who would be 24 today. But I remembered where he lived so I drove over there so see if he still lived there two decades later and lo and behold, he answered the door. I had to explain who I was and then he remembered me. I asked whatever happened to the little bike and I was shocked when he told me it had been sitting out in the weather by his back fence for the last 15 years. It didn't run and was covered with dirt and leaves. He told me he just never got around to throwing it out and if I wanted it I could have it!!!! I was so happy to get my son's very first motorcycle back! I hauled it home and it's in my garage and out of the weather. I've already ordered $600 worth of new parts and by the time I'm done it will be brand new again. How cool is that?
