64. Linda Leary Taylor would like to “put this out there” - she has had several people enquire about purchasing Harry Leary’s BMX bikes. Some have been rude and aggressive about it. 

   Harry Leary “had virtually nothing left.” Linda can be quoted as saying.

Harry sold most of his items and didn’t care “a wit about monetary things.” Most was sold long ago. Really, the things that remained in his apartment were limited to personal things.

Just to be clear, it isn’t any fan’s business what happened to his stuff - this is a family matter, and Linda has no intention of selling any memorabilia that currently remains with the family.

We invite you to listen to our conversation about BMX legend Harry Leary, with his sister Linda Leary Taylor and Kyle A. Huffman while walking over the London Bridge in Lake Havasu City, AZ.
