I just got this article from Motorcycle Classics in my email a few days ago. I just got around to reading it. It is a fascinating article well worth reading. I hope I am not breaking any rules by posting this but there was a way of sharing on the site. If I have done wrong, moderators please delete. I hope the link works.

Now that's an absolutely amazing story!   :thumb:

Two such wonderful restorations   :bow:  And that sidecar! 

You'd think someone one the board knew about these bikes?

I have been corresponding with Spencer the owner of these 2 wonderful bikes for awhile.  The back story is fascinating indeed.  His dedication to properly restore them is truly impressive as they were very rough units when he started.
