The story is an urban myth, the bike is from the 1950's.

Hi bobbob

Yeah obvious in hindsight - the bike is a real 50's classic

BUT I guess many a family can tell a story of young ones leaving - never to return!
Sometime there are thing left behind - more often than not .. not!

Sorry didn't mean to detract from the thoughts and emotions a picture like that can stir. I got all tearful the first time I saw it.
