Gary knows Don was in control of the family race team....that's why he's not suing anyone

Not at the time of the sale. Don had been dead for several years.

Terry Good was in the process of building a museum, or rather creating a museum. What happens to the bikes now is a pretty good question now. I believe even Gary Jones would think if he doesn't have possession of the bikes, it would be best if they were in a place were fans could enjoy them. I believe Terry Good has received donations or sponsors for this project, or was at least seeking them, what happens to all the financial support intended for the museum? Again, anyone know what happens to Jone's bikes now and all the others in the collection? This could end poorly.

Totally up to his wife. But she says she wants to keep some what of Terry s dream alive.

That doesn't sound promising.

Maybe you need to think! If Don had wanted to sell, he would have sold when he was alive. I've had dealings with the Jones's family since the 70s and may know a little bit more about this that you think I do.

So spill the beans if you’re so tight.

On that we agree! I rode around with Don and Kenny Clark (Yamaha race manager at one time) on a golf cart at the Legends race in Mid-Ohio back in 2007 I believe. Some of the stories he told about the early days of MX were pretty amazing.

My point that obviously went over your head was that Don had passed away several years before this deal went down.

I apologize if I came across as snarky. Sometimes it’s hard to read people in print without the facial expressions.
