The Clare Ashton Harley Story


Thanks to the retirees for all the help on this story. Although there were a couple variations in details, we have chosen this version.
Clare's bike was an almost new Harley, worth about 6 or 7 grand at the time. A young man came to see Clare's motorcycle and he brought his grandmother along. "Grandma" never got out of the pick-up which was parked a little distance from Clare and the young man. Clare and the young man talked over the price and the young man said that "Grandma" was going to help him purchase the motorcycle. The young man went to the pick-up and talked to "Grandma" then she left. The young man said that she was going to the bank to get the money or a bank check and she would be right back. He asked Clare if he could take the motorcycle for a test drive while they waited, Clare said OK.
After some time had passed, it was said that Clare became worried if the man was ok and hoping that the Harley mechanically was ok, or worse yet, not involved in an accident. After what must have seemed to be an hour or two Clare realized that he had been HAD . No Lic. plate no., No ID. and the Harley was gone forever.
End of story.
