81-WR250 Found its orig. owner

In the classified section I posted a 81-WR250 I picked up for parts. Had alot of interest but had a couple intersted in it whole which to me is alot better than being parted, my opinion only. Last winter I bought a 82 XC430 from its orig. owner, pretty bad shape as it had been a desert veteran. Well the guy I bought the 430 from, his brother called me and asked if he could come by and have me help do some wiring on his street rod project- sure, garage bucks are cool.
I opened up the garage door and he said "when did you get my old 250?" I thought ya-right. He said I know thats my old bike, I bought it brand new and he told me some things to look for, like a welded washer on upper shock bolt on opposite side of bike, side against the wall, without him getting within ten feet of it, sure enough it is!
I said "wow"! what a deal. He said he bought it new in the crate as a leftover at the same time his brother bought the 430. Kinda weird that I have both of them. Gets better, he also lived two doors down from my house when he owned the bike, moved just before we moved in. He flipped me some extra for the "Husky's restoration fund" .....another project. Glad I didn't take it out to the in-laws barn for storage yesterday like I was going to do, see procrastinating is good at times.

good story!

I'm sure we are and my birthday is coming up, do you want my list now? I tell my ten year old daughter that it is a small world and don't forget that!
