Did you get the Sears motorcycle deal done Mike? I would love to see that when I come back to Hershey.

We will be talking with the seller. I need to chat with my partner investor.

I understand, at $50,000 it is a big decision.

No, unfortunately, videos clog up the works.
But keep posting those photos!
I’m loving that Evans!
Hopefully, so will your wife.
Always better to ask forgiveness, but hey, I’ve been married twice, so don’t take my advise.

Once bitten, twice shy. Married once, 29 years, 2 kids ( relatively amicable split 50/50). G/F 8 years live together. Why get married? Draw up papers to nix common law and homestead rights and what's your's is your's, hers is hers.

First miss of Hershey in 23 years, wish I were there.

I was there 3 times in about a 10 year period back in mid 80's-90's haven't been back, but it's on my bucket list. I met up with the late and Great Larry Busch and Harvey Tromblay, Thad Pinnix, and a few other cool characters. I bought my 1941 Elgin Twin Bar 4 star Deluxe there. Still have the bike. I also bought the repro Columbia RX-5 off Larry when they 1st came out at Hershey! 1987ish.... A friend of a friend pulled this poster out of a bar in LA shortly after for me, still got that too, sold the bike.

We are still in talks. The org. engine was a single vertical cylinder engine. It now has a rebuilt Excelsior twin cylinder. For the asking price I feel it's still a good deal since it runs and rides. We have the Evans cycle now on display in the big room.

I'm taking my wife with me tomorrow to look over the Evans again. $8,000 firm in cash

My good friend bought the Evans. It's in his Collection. Got it for around $7,000

A young guy bought the Propeller bike shown up above for his Museum in the midwest. He may have paid $5K for it. I walked up when the deal was getting finished.

We are going after the Sears motorcycle. I found the guy's name and phone number. The Evans is now safe and sound at the Farm.

Hi Mike,
Do you have interest in this engine? My friend in Elizabethtown has it. Maybe we could put it in a partial trade towards the Evans your wife bought you at Hershey? It is a focal point for any collection. He would deliver it to you. Please let me know.

Great photos and videos. Just wondering @mikecuda if you know anything about the train in the first two photos?
