1985 Redline 500b

I went to my grandmothers house (on a lake a couple of hours away)and while I was there I had to cut across her neighbors back yard (older lady that lives alone)....

Well, I happened to just glance into the neighbors open storage shed and I spot two BMX bikes. Curiosity got to me, so I figured I'd take a quick closer look. Low and behold, there was this Redline, and a Powerlite. I could hardly contain myself!
I knew her neighbor wasn't home, so I couldn't find out her plans for them. Well, I asked my granny to inquire for me, and a few days later she called and told me what her neighbor wanted for "the white bike", and said the other she was gonna keep for her grandkids to jump in the lake when they visited. I was happy & sad at the same time.
Fast foward a few weeks, I grab-up my new found bike and leave the Powerlite to be a lake-jumper. The neighbor wasn't home this weekend either, but I did tell my grandmother I'd replace the "lake-jumper" with TWO lake jumpers if the lady didn't care.
