Jack Spitlers "Double Trouble" Bonanza.

I read the old thread on here on this bike and the man that built it. Here's the old post for a good read..

Looks like someone made it part of his collection. Here's a picture of the Bonanza he posted.

Since KKK has restored this bike, it has had 2 new owners. I saw this bike at Windber the year it was completed. This bike was loud. Lol. Also met Jack (RIP) and his wife. Great story with this bike.

The new owner(maybe one you know) has a nice mini bike collection. Seems to be a picker/collector with lots of neat stuff.

I know who owns it, Casey.

Wow. I read all 15 pages of that thread. What a great story! And holy grail caliber bike!

Where is it now? Curiosity...not an address, but, a private garage, warehouse, or a museum? What state? is this collection visible to the general public?

Tennessee. Public profile link to see some of his collection.

Met Jack several times at the BIG ONE in Fremont, Ohio. (Always labor Day weekend.) He would come each year for the vintage go kart gathering. Had me redo the clutches for the mini-bike to get it back up and running. I believe he was also a go kart driver for the Hoffco-Comet traveling race team back in the 60's.

Is there a vid somewhere of the beast 'rearranging' the turf?
