Its making me sick for it to waste away. My brother is doing NOTHING to save it..it just gets worse and worse. I'm 1,000 miles from its location but am thinking of arranging a rescue mission. Am looking to see what it would take to restore it. THANKS....here's some pics..



I'll tell you what I'll do. I have this bridge for sale, about
a 1000 mi from me, I'll trade you even. Then we can both
dream away our dreams...

Send me his name and phone number. I'd give him a couple hundred bucks for that hunk-o-junk eyesore! Hell I bet I could bribe a few of the neighbors to start complaining to the city about an abandoned junk motorcycle in the yard. I could save your brother and father a lot of trouble.
