Y'all remember the story a week ago about the vintage Eisentrauts? Steve-o hooked me up with the lovely Michelle who was selling a couple bikes her husband had not used until he passed away from some illness.

So I called up Eisentraut to find out info on the two bikes, and he shares what he knows, he remembers the bikes, remembers the guy, etc... He was surprised to learn the guy had died- he didn't even know the guy had been sick.

So, I'm over at Rolands last night (Della Santa) sucking down a slug of Lagavulin when Roland tells me this story....

"Eisentraut called me the other day, he says the guy's not quite dead."

"Huh?" I reply

He then goes on to tell me the story about the not quite dead guy and Eisentraut were apparently ex business partners and it appears the lovely Michelle may have been mistaken about her man being dead.

This smacks of a punchline to one of those stories you here about the ex selling the mans stuff out of revenge.... (or whatever) I'm fascinated by the ironies here- and also how small the world must be when the principle characters all know each other. Now I'm holding my breath for the knock on the door and some angry 300 pound ex wanting his bikes back... sheesh

Amazing....I'd love to know what the real story is..I'm guessing revenge..

My wife and I here watching television last night. There was a TV commercial where a wife, in a fit of rage, is selling her husbands prized Aston Martin for $20.

My wife looks at me as says "Honey, which one of your bikes do you like the most?" :) :)

hmm! great story..

"A British radio DJ is mourning the loss of his 25,000 pounds ($48,000) Lotus Esprit Turbo car after his outraged wife sold the car on eBay UK for the grand sum of 50 pence (90 US cents)" :) Ouch.
