The thread about the guy that "let himself in" the lady's house and took pics of her sons mini bikes got me thinking about this.
Does anyone have any tales of seeing or knowing of mini bike / go kart / and related things that you could see, get close to, but not grasp?
When I was a teen in the 80s I hung around with this kid that had and did all the cool things. He knew of a guy that had a go kart roller beside his house. That guy, then when he died, his wife just wouldn't let it go. The kid practically begged them to sell it to him. They never budged. So there it sat, rusting away for years. The kid wanted it so badly that he was even plotting to figure out how to steal it. Never did though.
Now, more recently, every day when I walk in and out of work, I get to see a water pump with a nice honda motor on it just begging for me to take it home to put on a bike or kart.
Anyone else have any stories like these to tell?
