    Oak - I agree. I think the guy who bought it at the yardsale is probably telling the truth (if that's really where he got it!). I don't buy the story that the bike was found on an interstate and that whomever sold it didn't know it was worth more than $5. Come on. Even crap bikes around here go for at least $25 at a yard sale!

    This is unbelievable enough that I'd want to take a second look before getting involved with that bike.

    The local news channel here did a story on this bike as it happened not all that far from here. Thought I'd pass along the link. The video from the short segment that aired are in the article, including some close up pics of the bike.

    Is he going to deny throwing the bike out of the car, and then some time later say that he did?
