And how did this company know of him and BCM?   My imagination is in overtime thinking how seemingly innocuous posts on forums such as this can be mined for data that a company or government can then benefit from.   Or maybe it's because I just finished reading this article:  https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2017/sep/19/facebooks-war-on-free-will (https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2017/sep/19/facebooks-war-on-free-will)

(quote) [quote Uncle Ned] "Mike and Frank are KNUCKLE HEADS! I wouldn't sell nothin' to those two!" [/quote]  (unquote)

And I have been after Ned to sell me just one of those Indians for a long time, they ain't goin' nowhere!
Also was there with Ned on his birthday last year when he showed a couple fellas around one of them asked him "if he'd take a great big ole stack of 100 dollar bills for one?"
Ned replied "And just what would I do with a stack of 100 bills?"

But I ain't sayin' he wouldn't sell one of, or both of them for a bunch of stacks of hundred dollar bills! (that would be his place not mine)

HI if Ned wont sell that's up to him, just hope they don't go the way we see a lot of the older bikes go . we have some bikes that are first year & first vin #, not for sale but when the time comes will go to a museum all restored.

Clifford, Ned doesn't want to split them up as he bought them as a pair and IF I remember correctly they are consecutive serial # bikes and one has (and always has had) a side car, the other is just the bike. Both are 100% original and never been restored or modified.

M-werx I fully understand where yer coming from and I can assure you that won't happen to Ned's. Pretty sure he will see to it they go to a good home when the time comes. (probably his son, who rides also)

Of course he could also send the side care one my way so when my legs get bad enough I can't hold up two wheels I won't have to buy/build a trike!  ;)  (I already have the proper trailer for one!)
