Subject: [CR]The Original Plastic Bike

I know we have discussed this bike in the past and just had an email about one of the "founders" of the company.

<<<If you take a look at today's (8/1/2003) New York Post you will see that Charles Cadorette has turned himself in to the NYC prosecutor on felony charges for bilking 9/11 charity funds. Yep it's the same Charlie. I knew him in the 70's and saw the prototype of the bike. I believe his old partner Joe Dorrity still has it. So the bike existed. However in light of today's news I wonder if the investment was a scam. I was told the deal fell through because the gas crisis of the 1970's effected the production cost of the bike. Who knows. >>>

Once a scammer always a scammer.

The brochure for the bike is @ http://www.firstflightbikes.com/newpage5.htm if anyone is interested.
