Yep still in their crate, had a big debate with my workmate about getting one each back in the 60s. But who would want a heap of crap like that to ride round on? Worse was to come, a 24? Indian barn find, complete with tassles on the saddle, nice red paint. Finder was a BSA and Norton man. Wanted $100 for it and I said nope!
