There is quite a bit of exaggeration here. A tempest brewed in a teapot, as is often the case in clubs. Sometimes it even has happened in the AMCA, believe it or not!
One of the series A twins supposedly stolen belongs to a friend of mine here in BC. It has been in Canada since the 50's. I know, because I rode it in 1960 in Toronto.

They both appear to say the same thing to my untrained eye. Looks like somebody got pissed they didn't get a basket case from Mr. Lumley. Too bad the John Lumley's final wishes were not in line with the a**hole who stared this. John Lumley sounds like he was a good guy. Some of his club members do not fit that category. RIP John.
