If I live to be 100 a Brit-bike will still be what comes to mind when I visualize a motorcycle. A classic BSA, candy-apple red, with chromed tank-sides; that's the ticket. One time, the Jones was so overpowering that I considered buying a Royal Enfield. Yeow! How crazy is that?



Yeah, I really admire all the new bikes: fast, reliable, and much more capable than I am. But, somehow they will always be missing something (probably, a puddle of oil).

LOL! Good point. Hey! I gotta an idea. You find out where the largest contengent is coming from and follow them. You could make a fortune on Ebay, from the parts you pick-up along side the road.

I'd love indulging myself but it gets me in trouble. Actually, the W-30 Kaw would be more up my ally. Okay, it ain't the real thing; but as a painless commuter and short tourer it would be fine. It might be one of the few bikes that I could climb on and still keep my promise, not to go over 100-mph. Personally, I think it looks more like a mid-sixties Triumph than the Hinkley Bonneville.



What's cool is that the W-30 didn't sell worth beans and, anymore, that's pretty close to the asking price.
