Newest Addition

I experienced my first police auction today. It's strange the things that get left behind. How do 70 bikes just go unclaimed? I want to know the stories. I imagine that the previous owner of my new-to-me Ute is a fugitive, or in witness protection, or joined the circus - because why would you not claim this thing? I don't know, but it's mine now. I'm keeping a photocopy of the receipt with the bike in case I get accosted by some dude with black socks, a "cars r coffins" t-shirt, and large sideburns who thinks I swiped his bike. I know I stereotype a lot, but sometimes I can't resist. I won a fierce bidding war between a few other sandaled, bearded dudes and rolled away on my new Ute.
