Found this one another forum.
"The gentleman that rides this bike is a former Investment Banker from Lowell, Massachusetts . He bought the bike new and rode it while he attended Harvard in the mid 60's. After he graduated Harvard, he garaged the bike for several years, up to the time that he let his daughter and son ride it during their college years.
The daughter graduated MIT and now works in the Defense Industry. She took good care of the bike, rebuilt the engine and added the front disk brake. The bike was then passed down to the son, who was in the History of Consciousness Program at UC Santa Cruz. The son disappeared with the bike after he dropped out in his Senior year. I guess that it was in Santa Cruz that the bike first acquired it's oil and rust patina. To much salt air and to little maintenance.
A few years after the son disappeared, the gentleman lost most of his money in the Enron failure. His wife of 37 years divorced him and kicked him out of the house that 'his' family had owned on Gumpas Pond for almost 120 years. He hit the road in late 2001 and and he then tracked down his son who was then living in the Jeff's, Colorado City, Arizona polygamists community. The kid still had the pan head, so he repossessed it and he has been on the road every since.
He now supports himself by creating and promoting financial derivatives. He always carries a Wall Street Journal and an Apple MacBook (the new 2.16GHz one) in the Tootsie Roll box lashed to his rear fender. From time to time he stops at Starbucks locations and connects to the Web to conduct his business and make wire transfers to his Cayman bank
Two years ago he was reported to be in Denver, Colorado, by a fellow ADV rider. I saw him in Ely, Nevada last weekend. The distance between Denver and Ely is 675 miles, so I calculate that he has been averaging about 1.1 miles per day. He was heading South towards the Alien Highway..."
