In an Instagram Story, the American Pickers star reshared a behind-the-scenes snapshot from House and Sanctuary.
In the snap, the History Channel star stood next to the greenish 1951 Vesp and wrapped his fingers around the handlebars.
He posed in front of the giant Fire-Eater poster.
The caption stated: “Throwback to when @alyssarosenheck photographed @mikewolfeamericanpicker Two Lanes Guesthouse for @countrylivingmag.
“We knew @mikewolfeamericanpicker parking that ‘51 Vespa would be a hit!”
Mike wrote: “Good Times!”
The Vespa and circus banner appeared in the background when Mike promoted his Tennessee Airbnb on September 11.
In an Instagram reel, Nashville Realtor Gavren Dochterman interviewed the TV star inside the loft “located above a bicycle shop inside a two-story brick building.”
Mike shared: “This place, I want all these little moments to represent a story.”
THE RATINGS PLUNGE
The antique expert has been focusing on outside projects while his show faces declining ratings and scheduling reshuffling.
Mike reunited with fellow co-hosts Robbie Wolfe, 62, and Danielle Colby, 47, for the Season 25 premiere in early July.

In mid-July, The U.S. Sun reported how the ratings dipped by 100,000 viewers.
After 918,000 viewers watched the premiere, the ratings dipped even more to 803,000 during the July 12 installment.
Near the end of the month, the U.S. Sun also revealed that the July 19 episode dropped another 100,000 viewers, with just 713,000 people tuned in.
The ratings ticked up for the July 26 installment with about 885,000 viewers.
The U.S. Sun also reported that the August 23 episode brought in the lowest numbers for Season 25, with about 620,000 viewers.
After the ratings dropped to the lowest, the History Channel made unannounced schedule changes.
‘A STRAIN ON YOUR LIFE’
Earlier in September, a pal of the TV personality told The U.S. Sun: “I don’t know how long the show will last.
“I don’t know how long Mike and Robbie want to do this. I think they would like to retire at some point. It’s been 12 years.”
Mike’s friend continued: “It’s a strain on your life.
“They’ve done this a long time. When they’re around it’s, ‘Ah we’re on the road again. I ain’t got time to do this, I ain’t got time to do that.’
The source ended: “It’s a love-hate like with any job.
“Some days, you don’t wish you had that job, and you could do whatever you wanted. Some days, you’re all excited about your job.”
