[QUOTE="davidd, post: 111033, member: 1177"] Thanks, I am short on the documentation side. I am better on the oral history. I checked with Carleton Palmer, who told me the story years ago. The bike was advertised for sale in Mt Sinai, Long Island, NY. Carleton headed over to buy the bike and as he was pulling into the drive he saw Nick Pierce's van. Nick was pushing the Egli into the back. Carleton looked over the bike and it was Sal Defeo's bike from Ghost Motors. Sal had sold the bike to the gent in Mt Sinai and now the gent was selling it to Nick. This was probably early 1981. According to Carleton, Nick took the bike to the National rally at Nelson Ledges in 1981. While there, he sold it to George Emmerich. Carleton thought it had been taken apart because it never surfaced over the years. David [/QUOTE]
