Incredible story Gerry that is an amazing piece of history you have in your possession. The bike is beautiful I hope you really realize what you have as it pertains to minibikes , but mostly to bonanza collectors ,fans , and supporters all around world. It couldn't be in greater Hands , take care of that piece of history. As for me I ride every one of my bikes That I own maybe some not as much as others because of how rare they are but I ride them all. So I'm with you when you said you should let Evil Ed start it up and ride but I also think you should videotape the whole process for historical reasons also.
