My step-son asked me to come down to his friend's parent's lakehouse today. It was just him and his friends, so I bought some hamburger meat and fixin's and headed down. My step-son's friend see's my Triumph t-shirt and asks if I have one, (supposed to get a Speedy this week, if it ever arrives) I said I'm getting it this week, he goes on to tell me, his Dad, (who commited suicide in front of his mother) has a Triumph and a Norton locked up in a storage container on the property. He said they were will'd to a friend of his father's, but he seems to have no interest in them. I of course ask if I can look at them, but unfortunately he can't find the right key's for the 4 padlocks on the storage container, very interesting to say the least, he tells me as soon as he finds the key he will invite me back down, he also says the Triumph is in pristine condition, I have no idea what kind of Triumph or what year we are talking about. I'll keep you all posted.........

You always hear the stories about the pristine 63 Corvette found in the barn, right? Well they are out there,as are tons of Brit iron in sheds and garages.
Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.

Update: My step-son's friend found the key's to the storage container, you are not going to believe this, he said it is a 60's-70's Bonneville with 0 miles! Now of course I probably can't buy it, it is probably worth too much, I am going down to look at it later today, I'll take pics.

I don't know Mark. Now you hear that this thing has NO MILEAGE on it???!!! I'm startin' to think that maybe you should contact GERALDO and see if he wants to show up with his crew TOO!  (I mean he had so much luck with that Al Capone vault thing a few years back, didn't he?!)  Okay! I'm REALLY interested in seeing pictures of this now. 
Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)

Sorry guys, the "Viewing" has been re-sceduled for Friday @ 2:00 P.M. It is hard to believe, but I am told the guy's dad had it for 30 years and never rode it.

Exactly the reason not to call Geraldo.

I think I will wait for the photos on this one. Seems a bit too much but all things are possible.
I try to aggravate one person a day. Today may be your day.
