    My story

    Here is a story of all the Argos my pop owned and sold and how I ended up with a 92 magnum at the age of 15 !
    My pop was born in 1933 in corner brook Newfoundland Canada. He worked in the copper mine just 5 min from my house and owned a business across from my house called Byrne' store after his last name! He worked as a public service by driving a bus from here ( York harbour nl) to corner brook (45 min away). He also worked at the pulp and paper mill in corner brook and sold logs to them, he was a very hard working man! He owned only Argos the first being a orange 1970s HTB model 8 wheel. Then sold that and bought the 8 I /C and sold that and bought a later model 8I/C. Owned a couple six wheelers on the way to. Then there was the 92 magnum, that was the last one her ever bought for he was getting old and didn't have much time to go to the woods anymore due to cancer that he got when I was born and fought for 13 years. The cancer eventually got the best of him and soon passes away before he died he told me the Argo was mine and treat like a woman. So here I am now at 15 with my own Argo!

    I'm sorry to hear about your pop. It's great that your Argo was passed down to you. When you are out enjoying it, I'm sure you can smile knowing that your pop is looking down on you having fun. That will certainly be a way for you to remember him and have fun doing something he also enjoyed. Thanks for sharing.

    Nice back story Curtis. Remember to treat it like a woman, that you like.


    My new beer holder spilled some on the trails - in it's hair and down it's throat.
    Joe Camel never does that.

    Sounds like your dad was a great example of what it means to be a real man. Hard work, integrity, and loving & taking care of his family. Don't ever forget the example he left you. It's far more valuable than any Argo ever will be. He sounds like he was the real deal. Not many like him left but you have the potential to be one of them.

    I had to look at a map of Newfoundland to get my bearings. My mom grew up in Stephenville and she mentioned Corner Brook a good bit. I guess that's a bigger town.
    Good luck with the Argo!
