Some catching up to my neglected blog,

My lead for dads R69s Is solid. I have talked to John Landstrom, owner of Blue Moon Cycles in Norcross GA. John worked for George Wagoner of Wagoner cycles, the metro Atlanta BMW Dealer in the 80's who had bought dads bike in 83.
 
Seems John went to work for Wagoner cycle works in 1985. George was true to his word when he told mom "this is such a nice bike I'll be keeping this one for myself". It was perfect when it was sold.

John was nice enough to fill in the blanks between 1983 and now. 

At one point George crashed it on his way to an event in Chattanooga TN. John was following. Seems he went into a corner hot dragging the center stand and low sided it. The Tank was destroyed in the crash. George repaired it and kept it till he passed in 1995 (fell off a ladder). The bike was sold to settle Georges estate.

John ended up becoming the Metro Atlanta BMW dealer and set up shop in Norcross with Blue Moon Cycles.

 John continued to service the bike and was friends with the owner. Unfortunately around 1999-2000 that owner cashed the bike and died in the crash. His widow had John rebuild the bike and it became a shrine to her husband for 10 years. She finally decided to part with it and had John broker the sale.

I found what I believe is the ad is still floating on the internet.

So john remembers everything right up to the point of "who has it now". I believe this may be more of a case of the following:
A. Bad for him to be passing out customer info.
B. I don't have the funds to buy it right now just want to know if it ever becomes available. Hes a business man and I'm sure he wants to be part of the transaction if it goes on the market.

I cant blame him for either. 

I'll pester John again soon. I do hope to get it back one day.

If by some weird chance of fate my very few readers comes across it the VIN is 655028. This is what it probably looks like today. This is from the above ad link John had placed for what I believe is the bike.
