I see an obituary for 90 year old Dean Kelsey of Iowa Falls today. Dean ran a salvage business, was a H-D dealer, a Bridgestone dealer, sold chain saws, drove a Caterpillar . . . a million things this guy could do.
Dean was a founding member of the Ghost Town Ramblers M/C, he did motorcycle stunts at the fair, and was a Class C professional hill climber. I remember going with my dad a couple times down to "Kelsey's" where Dean would sell a spanking new Sportster (still in the crate) to Noot . . . and then Noot would set them up and sell it at his custom shop . . . B&N Cycle. There was this very, very steep road to manipulate down into the salvage yard to pick up bikes. I'd crawl on the floorboards since it was too scary for me . . . Dean sure lived a full life. Awesome motorcycle stories now archived forever.
