I just talked to wes s wife, Deb, and she is wanting to sell his bikes. You guys remember his Norton with the clothes pin brake lite switch. It, and a 69 bonney will be for sale for not much, but we would hope the Norton was kept in the character we know it. Not restored completely changed.
I ll be going down soon to check them out and take some pics, then put the on the garage sale.
But if anyone is interested let me know.
