Scrapyard Ron lead us to a place that was, as my daughter said "Gee Dad this is just like home".

So glad they cleaned up the place for our tour!

2 questions:
1. What in the hack is that silver one?! That's gotta be one of the coolest bikes I've seen! :mrgreen:
2. Is this "Scrapyard Ron" or you?

Hi, I'm not in the pictures that I took, that long hair is Ron, my hair fell out when I was in my 40's. The bike is a Mattel Stallion,

Everything at the junkyard was for sale, they even wanted some money for some of them, since they had paid scrap prices for them , it's a scrapyard. between webberville and fowlerville. There will be more pics coming ( I didn't take many) on the Freakbike site...

Yep, factory decal from '58 to early '60's. I'm sure there's repros around.

What kind of $ are we talking? That's about an hour from me & my wife has a relative in the area without a car--suddenly I'm interested in going to give her a lift, if she doesn't complain about rusty bikes rubbing against her :lol:
