[QUOTE="Garth Robinson, post: 160557, member: 237"] I couldn't agree more Greg. These machines are part of our life story, how we acquired the bits to assemble them, who we acquired them from ,trips we made on them ,memorable fines we received while using them are all part of our life. I have only purchased two running Vins, any others have been built from bits or been "basket cases" .When I ride my bikes, I tend to think back to other trips I have made to rallies etc. and the other riders and machines I have met there. Riders who started out riding in the 60's as I did, didn't consciously set out to 'hoard'. The problem then was that you could not obtain those needed parts for love or money, so whenever anything useable turned up, it was for 'later on' ,or swapping, just in case of a future disaster. With this happening, eventually the bones of another bike would appear. And so it begins! [/QUOTE]
