1986 Hutch Trick Star - BMXmuseum.com

This is the actual bike that got stolen from me while I was on tour in New York City in 1986, not my gold bike. This bike was taken from the Hutch ramp trailer in broad day light, around mid afternoon, somewhere near downtown 42nd street as I remember. A couple years later I received a phone call from a kid in New York who told me he knew where my bike was and that he would bring it to me at the AFA Masters event in Patterson New Jersey. I was riding for Diamond Back at that time. Needless to say I brought it home and gave it to a child hood friend of mine, Tom Mesaros. About 4 years ago, I told him I wanted to restore it and display it in my house, so he gave it back to me. Thank you Tom for Keeping it all those years.

Update, today is 8/19/10.  After many years of having this bike here at my house,  I'm happy to say it's now back together 100% correct down to the custom rear pegs that my buddies dad made for me back in 86.  I was lucky to find some photo's posted online from the Hutch tour in 1986 in the Wisconsin area from a show I rode this bike at before we headed to New York.  It was a long process, but I'm happy it's now complete.
