[QUOTE="Monkeypants, post: 117113, member: 2708"] The matching numbers fascination seems to have blossomed in the 90s. It's no different than stamp collecting. If you think of a rare stamp, it's face value is tiny and often expired, but it's collector value is huge. To me it's just a useless bit of paper I don't want. Those of us who just want to ride old bikes will never fully understand those that just want to possess and display them. That said, my Vincent Special has matching numbers, everything is as it left the factory. Unfortunately the numbers also match up with a U-Haul trailer in Ontario! Glen [/QUOTE]
