As the story goes, the building’s elderly owner admitted that his son had stolen the bike, and was so enraged and embarrassed at his son's act of thievery, that he forced him to enlist in the Army.
Since this happened in the beginning of World War 1, the son was then sent to fight in the war and never returned
In the neighborhood was the shop that made the stolen bike
The motorcycle was discovered in 1968 and owned by motorcycle legend Bud Ekins. Ekins eventually sold it to motorcycle collection Richard Morris who eventually sold it to the Wheels Through Time Museum
