An acquaintance of mine, Ron Tubby bought it. He lives just round the corner from DS. He restores bikes to keep him active.

Wonder how long a person can wait before they do another restoration? It certainly gets you hooked. Me personally, the mind body and soul says now, the finances pipe up and announce this is not the right time! 🤪🤫 Waiting for world peace and market stability. Might wait a while!! Truth be told it’s the last thing I need, but when did need have anything to do with it? 🤣🤣
