  • I remember my first motocycle in Montana

  • There was the most beautiful thing i ever saw.

  • I was a sophomore in highschool.

  • There were no Hondas, you had a Harley or you had an Indian.

  • I thought it was worth what paid for it.

  • I had an affinity for motercycles when I was young. It was all I ever wanted to do.

  • I had no plan to stand up where I am.

  • I had every plan to keep riding.

  • I rode it for about thirteen years till my daughter was born.

  • and I sold this bike cause we were raising that child.

  • I'd made a mistake. I had allways wondered you know, what would come if I ever found it again,but I never had much hope for that.

  • I had been searching on Ebay for other 58'Harleys

  • It didn't even cross my mind I'd get this one back.

  • I looked for a coupl'a years tryin' to find the right one.and then one day

  • I think 32 years from the date that I sold it there it was.

  • the framenumber was the same,I bid what I thought it was worth but iI didn't get it.

  • I lost it

  • 'N I thought;'God what's the chance it's twice like that?'

  • Later it came up on Ebay again! This time I bid...what it was worth to me!

  • You never stop at a stop sign that somebody doesn't wanna tell you about the one that got away.

  • "I wish my dad hadn't sold that 57' Ford Fairlane

  • Grandpa had a Harley like that, God I wish we had that!"

  • I got it, ya got it made. Chokes me up a little to think about it. Yeah,I got it made.
