Not just of the better Shelby's but mucho cool badge too. Galina KS. There's a hot spot in history. Known as a mining town but nearly ignored for its criminal border town aspects. I mean, Back in the day, booming lead rush and mining operations before and during WWI and WWII, the money went a few miles east to Joplin and Cartridge MO. Yet, all the famous criminals who came through Joplin, the wild state trouper chases, Bonnie and Clyde, Ma Barker and many more . Galina, that's the border town, the state line, the troupers couldn't cross. Tons of rumors not only of Galina but back just before TOC. Baxter springs; Cowtown most or all the crime wild west stories.
The young lady who 1st owned this bike probably lived with and heard the lore in this town and within 10-15 mile radius. Even today, albeit some of this town's residents try and pretend it never happened, behind the doors, beyond ears reach, The lore exists and Galina remains a place to avoid taking up residence.
And too, even without all that, the badge has cool written all over it. .
