Oh, I can see motorcycles already.
All right, be cool.
No, you be cool.
I will.
You be cool.
I haven't seen Frank that nervous
since he asked Mary Redmond to the eighth grade dance.
Hey, hey.
Hi.
- How you doing? - Hey, I'm Mike.
Nice to meet you. Hi.
- Frank. - Frank.
You too.
You talk to Danielle?
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
- Yeah. - Yeah, excited.
You OK?
I'm excited.
I'm-- I'm as excited as you are.
Frank, hand him the flier.
What?
Yeah.
Over the last eight years, Frankie and I
have been very fortunate to meet some pretty famous people--
William Shatner, Dan Auerbach, Jack White, Rick Nielsen.
Neil?
Hell, yeah.
I love it.
And then all of a sudden, we got Tim Corwin, and Frank's,
like, losing his mind.
I mean, I first seen you guys--
Yeah.
I seen you guys on "American Bandstand."
That's right.
And then--
"Yummy Yummy," "Chewy Chewy," "Down at Lulu's," "Beg, Borrow,
and Steal" was our first hit.
How about "Mercy"?
Mercy, mercy.
I remember that one.
My name is Tim Corwin.
I was the drummer in the Ohio Express.
I think we have more bubblegum hits in that type
of music than any band.
The Ohio Express is known as the kings of bubblegum.
We had the first so-called bubblegum hits.
Well, when I was young, bubblegum was big, you know?
- It's good stuff, though. - Yeah.
It's forever.
As early as junior high, I started
performing every weekend in a band that we had formed
called Sir Timothy and the Royals and then got
picked up by an agency out of New York who then appointed
us the name Ohio Express.
And the first thing we did was "Beg, Borrow, and Steal."
And it was a hit.
And ended up living in New York City
and flying in and out all over.
And we had fun.
What else you got to show us?
This is what you call mass insanity, I suppose.
Oh, my gosh.
You got a little bit of everything here.
Oh, yeah.
MGs.
These are fun cars.
I had one of these.
- I like my MGs. - Yeah, they are fun cars.
Yeah, man.
He's got more sports cars, motorcycles, and planes.
This place is packed.
What do you got?
Let's-- let's see.
I see the planes.
I've got everything.
Wow.
I got stuff everywhere.
I see that.
Um, could I get an autograph?
Yeah.
Frank finally gets up the nerve
to ask Tim for an autograph--
Frank--
To Frank.
--something that he's been wanting
to ask for all day long.
All the best?
To Frank.
- Oh, yeah. - Oh.
Oh. - Yeah.
Cool.
Don't mess that up.
All right, that's a first.
And Tim was more than accommodating.
I've got a question, Tim.
Mm-hmm?
How about this BSA there?
What's the story on that?
That bike I got from a guy up in Northern
Ohio in a big old garage.
There were-- he had a number of bikes.
And it's a 1965 BSA Lightning 650.
All right.
A nice running bike.
I rode it--
Is an older restoration?
Or is that a recent--
That's a very old restoration.
It actually will clean up pretty nice.
BSA was the largest motorcycle manufacturing company
from the 1930s to the 1960s.
BSAs are very collectible.
And think about who owned it, Tim.
So what's neat about the '65 BSA, it was part
of the whole British Invasion.
You know, not only were the bikes coming in,
here comes the music.
I mean, it's-- you know, it just has it all around it.
The British Invasion, when The Beatles came along with "I Want
to Hold Your Hand," it was like, this music really
is different and really strong.
It just took you over.
And then The Zombies and The Troggs
and all these different bands.
And then at the same time, the British
came in with nice bikes.
So the British Invasion invited not only
great music but great vehicles.
[music playing]
Is this something you would sell, Tim?
I would sell that, yeah.
Does it have a title?
Yes, it does.
It has a title.
It's a clear title.
And it is fresh guts in that.
It needs cleaned up, but--
Sure, sure.
--I went through the--
You probably have the carburetors
cleaned out a little bit. - Yeah, you got to do the carbs.
You know how that works. - It's a good looking bike.
What would you have to have out of it, Tim?
What I've done to it and the way
she sits right now with a cleaning and that,
I'd say around 4.
Tim, you're kind of getting up there towards the retail.
I mean, I see the choke is down here.
It's got a little, you know-- it's got some dirt
bike stuff on it here.
Yeah.
She's got old gas.
No, it's super clean, man.
I mean, look at that. - It's clean.
- Oh, it's fine, yeah. - Oh, yeah.
Mega clean.
I don't know.
How about at 35, I'll sign it for you?
[laughs]
There you go, Frank.
How about-- it's an original that way.
I like it because it has a title,
plus I get a double signature because it's in your name,
right? The title?
- That's right, yeah. - You got it.
All right.
- Thanks, Tim. - All right.
All right.
Thanks, Tim.
Appreciate it.
I've got another one.
You got another one just like it?
I got one at the shop.
But it's a-- it's a Thunderbolt.
A Thunderbolt?
One carb.
People are going to go, where'd you get this?
And I'll go, hey, you ever heard of "Yummy Yummy Yummy"?
That's who used to own it.
And if he's an old guy like me, a rock and roller,
he's going to know exactly who I'm talking about.
