Local Mini-Bike collection displayed

Pincher Creek residents Dave Fouillard and son Riley have an extensive collection of mini-bikes, some going back to the mid-1960's. The bikes are found via the internet or good luck and then lovingly restored in their home shop. Dave brought 30 of them out for a good look today, and said there were another 10 in various stages of restoration not shown here. "I buy them and keep them. Riley buys them and sells them," he said. Apparently Riley has made a tidy profit in this manner over the last few years. It's a beautiful collection, and a testament to hours of painstaking labour.
