After having his 1953 Triumph motorcycle stolen from his back yard 46 years ago, Don DeVault got a call from U.S. Customs saying they had recovered the bike during a routine check on an export manifest.Ya think Don was a bit surprised? haha! Actually, he thought he was being pranked by someone in the family but in the end he was stunned to realize that it was truly his old bike, with a different paint job and some other changes. Don, who is now 72, originally had the bike painted baby blue and had the tank inscribed with the tag "Li'l Blue Bitch". Don has bought and sold over 50 bikes in the past 46 years but plans to keep this one, repaint it with the original colour and inscription, and add "46 years later" underneath.
