That was me, sorry. I just was curious as to which one you were in the photo you posted as you always have interesting posts and I thought it might be nice to put a face with the name. But understand why you would want anonymity, again sorry. I understand and respect people who want to keep a low profile. Even this thread which started with my meeting Reggie Jackson the last thing I told him after taking photos of him all day on some bikes of his I hope to be selling soon as well as photos of his cars and warehouse was that I wanted to make sure it was OK with him that I would be posting these pics of him online on social media. He said of course, why do you thing I was telling you to take all the photos, If we are selling a Reggie Jackson bike we have to show people a picture of me on or with the bike.

This is the closest and only thing to a social media site I am on so I may not know the rules if any there are on social media. You posted a nice photo of the boss and I thought in a way I was just being kind of being nice by asking which one you were in the photo. So sorry, it was me that just wanted to put a name to a photo you posted, did not think it was weird, but I guess I might be clueless about the protocols of social media. You are right I do not know you but have been reading your posts on here for some time as well as you responding to some of my posts. I do not know most people on here, but kind of feel you know them after communicating on here. If you want pic of me as you stated, that is a recent photo from last Thursday of me with Reggie in the first photo posted here in this post, and that is the first and only photo of me I have ever posted of myself on the world wide web. Not for any reasons of security or anonymity, just do not think anyone would care what I look like. It was the best photo of a smiling photo Reggie I took, just happened to have me in it. Anyway, hope we are good here. Mike.

This afternoon I look at my phone and it says Reggie Jackson is calling me. I guess he did add himself as a contact in my phone. First time that has been done and I now have a contact in my old flip phone, first call I have ever received when it says who called. Anyway he asked me how I did at the Galt swap meet I told him I would be selling at when we met last week. I told him I brought 4 bikes, sold 3 and bought one, and did well in selling Stingray parts. I also told him I had not had time to go over his bikes really well to see what we have, but I would this week and be ready to bring a few of them to a couple of swaps that I will be doing next month, hopefully one of them being Jim's JAFCO meet in Stockton. He said that sounded good, then we talked for a bit about swap meets, the getting up early and so on. Then my wife was calling me to do something so I said I had to go but I will keep him posted which he said sounds good.

I was kind of surprised he called me even though he had me call his phone and put me in there as a contact, then put his # in my phone and told me to call him anytime if I needed to discuss anything about the bikes. I was going to call the third party/good friend of Reggie the person who originally contacted me about these bikes maybe every week or so and keep him posted and I figured Reggie was a busy guy and might prefer not to be bothered, looks like I was wrong. I guess Reggie is a real hands on guy which I think is great. I have never had bikes or anything on consignment to sell, but I think this should work out well as he seems to be a very nice person to be doing this with. It is nice to have someone that takes an interest in what is going on and seems to be very accessible. Here are some more photos I took last Thursday another with a smiling Reggie, again excuse my old camera and shaky hand. I know most of you have heard enough about this by now so I will cool it. I think maybe I posted this thread as I might have been more excited that I received a call on my phone stating who was calling, than it being Reggie Jackson calling.

...... I have sold cars for over a million dollars, but this bike sale today seemed like it took longer than any of those deals, but I enjoyed every minute of the day.


That is what what Reggie Jackson said after a 7 hour day with him yesterday including going out for lunch, talking on the phone with my son about the A's, him taking my flip phone and taking 5 minutes to figure out how to add him as a saved contact which I have never added a contact before in my life and knew nothing about, then telling me he had a phone like mine once and tried his best to show me some of the features on it, a a tour of the classic cars he had in his building, and the bikes.

Very long day yesterday which started with my taking a trip to Monterey to discuss with the owner who wanted to pick my brains and possibly sell some of a truckload of bikes he owned that were just delivered a few weeks before from the east coast to his place in Monterey. This was all done through a third party. I had an address and was told by the third party that the owner Reggie would be there to meet me, no last name given and never thought twice about the name Reggie. So I went yesterday and to start with I just assumed it was a house I was going to, but it was a warehouse, and who but Reggie Jackson whom I have never met was there to greet me. Anyway after a long tour he gave me of his car collection, taking the covers off of a lot of of them, showing me factory chalk marks, telling me and showing with a flashlight a little about each car. Motorcycles, Whizzers, balloon tire bikes, were spread out all through the building, even in the bathroom. He had most of the Stingray's and other brand muscle bikes pretty much all together for me in a few spots. He told me he has sold cars, even a collection of cars at Mecum Auctions, as well as Stingray bikes but wanted to know more about his bikes. It started out with him asking me what I thought were the rarest, most collectable bikes in his collection. I went straight over to a 1968 Lemon Peeler and Orange Krate that after a quick but not a thorough inspection by any means looked like original bikes including those hard to find seats on 1968 Krate bikes, one was an early 68 bike which also had the pogo seat post and original knobby colored line knobby tire and colord line superior front. I said if after a longer inspection and if those bikes were all original I would give my right arm for those bikes, and he said then he would probably be keeping them for sure. Anyway after hours of bike discussions I bought a bike from him, left the door open on some others, and he gave me another 2 to take home to try and sell on consignment for him. It was a very nice day with a very nice gentlemen, can not say that enough about my experience with him. I will figure out next week what I have with the 2 bikes on consignment, today I am getting ready to do a swap tomorrow in Galt CA.

Oh, and excuse those blurry photos taken with my old Kodak camera. And I told Reggie I would be posting pics of him online, the bikes and cars. He said of course that was OK.
