Dimestore Dreams - Pt 19 No. 20320 Service Cycle and Rider

This is the last of three motorcycle's in the Dimestore Dreams line. They call this version a "service cycle" and would have been used as a delivery service for most, but it hits home a bit differently for me. Back in the '50s and '60s my dad rented garage space from a neighbor lady and her son Jack would always come to collect the rent. Jack was a pretty good guy. He had cerebral palsy and walked  with a kind of ungainly gait, dressed just like Marlon Brando in The Wild One, and drove a Harley just like this! Jack liked to travel so that rear cargo bin was perfect for holding his luggage while on the road. I seem to recall his cycle as being white. My sample had another red driver (hmmm, now I wonder if Dimestore Dreams did make a white driver as shown on the box art???). Anywho - Enjoy! Opa Fritz
