I have an interest in classic bikes but being interested and owning one are two different things.
Too much to do and I would rather spend my time doing other things. As has been well documented, the one I've got doesn't even get cleaned that much
let alone building one, fixing all the oil leaks etc.
How do I know this being a young whippersnapper (my first bike was a 91 model! and it was 3 years old when I bought it, and I was 18!) - well I owned a BSA C12 once ... had all the best intentions of doing it up etc, but with study, a yound family, a demanding job I had no time and sold it to the president of the BSA owners club in Queensland.
I even gave him my collection of drip trays .....
