[QUOTE="Sakura, post: 113502, member: 2593"] I always rebut the issue of young people vs old bikes by looking at the prices of veteran and vintage vehicles; they are on the up. Not sure what is happening but any quality pre 1920s machinery seem to be doing just fine and the mid 20s to 30s stuff seem to be holding station. [/QUOTE] I agree that this does to seem the case. Remember, my original post quoted 50s bikes mainly. Mid 20s to late 30s bikes are quite rideable and have more of an "antique" look about them as opposed to many stodgy 50s bikes. This, of course, is all conjecture, only time will truly tell. However, only Greg has come close to answering my question, do you really care about the monetary value of your bikes? Personally, as stated, I don't, only relatively, in that I wouldn't sell for less than current values to enrich someone else. [/QUOTE]
