I've told this before, but it's a "Doosey!!" ( term came from Duesenberg cars I think?)
The '47ish Rollfast was without tank or rack when my buddy traded a Allied Van Lines steel truck and van for the bike when he worked at Harley Davidson of Winnipeg back in the early 80's. After a divorce ( been there done that since) and downsizing, he sold it to my (ex) Brother in law in about '92. He hardly rode it.
I airbrushed a vintage original toy Kingsbury Golden Arrow tin car for him ( ex Bro in law) and got the bike in payment. I sourced the tank from Jerry Jr. ( Yes, it was $$ pricey) and Uncle Remus/Carl Duke ( Caber) donated ( Roadmaster?) rack so it all matched up nicely. My buddy ( original owner) found a Rolly chain ring I fitted on.
I rode it for a couple of years, loved it until it got stolen by some punk in about 2012 ( like in Pee Wee's Big Adventure) while outside my garage late at night while I was trying to come around and open the overhead door.
I frantically searched thru the weekend with posters in stores, power poles, light posts, questioned area folks, phoned the police, only to have a local bike shop phone me a couple days later telling me a good citizen snagged it off some punk who it certainly didn't belong too!! Come and get it! I had a small decal on the seat post of when I used to work at that bike shop, so they kinda knew it had to be Bob's!! ( not many collectors of ballooners up here). SWEET!!
I owned it again!! Then traded it last year to a local Caber/Oldy 57 ( only 2 Cabers in the city of 600,000+ I know of?) He took it out to California in the back of his truck on vacation for a beach ride last Winter. Still has some Cali beach sand on it. Then I got it back in a trade with Oldy57 this Summer. He put a KILLER set of grey and red pinstriped wheels on while he owned it from a doner bike. Nice match..EH?
The other bike/a Monark/Rat, I built starting with the tank. Fun stuff.
