My father has a beautiful Douglas Dragonfly in his garage and it's upsetting him.
He owned the bike back in the late 50's and then sold it in 1962. I bought the same bike for him in 2014. Long story short, I bought the bike to help him recover from a debilitating illness that followed a botched surgery. He was down and a once active guy was now confined to a wheelchair. The bike helped him get his focus back. He has fixed, fettled & polished that bike to almost a like-new condition. It sits in his garage and he's out there almost daily doing something to it. What's upsetting him is that it is seldom started or ridden. I live in the USA and ride it whenever I visit my parents, but realistically can only visit once, or sometimes twice a year. Otherwise the bike sits in the garage.
We are looking for a like-minded person that can visit my father, fire up the bike and maybe even ride it to a local show or event. If you feel you might be interested in this, please let me know, either by responding here, or emailing me directly at

Thank you,
