Some good stuff. That 66 Triumph Bonneville tank looked nice. It seems like the British vintage bike market is really soft right now. Lots of good deals popping up if you're a buyer.
I quit going to swap meets because of the ridiculous prices for parts and bikes, Their is no way in Hell a pair of old used knuckle heads are worth 2,500.00. Those old bikes are fun to restore and ride love them to death, But the rich deep pocket Bastards out there have ruined it for the average Kid or Hobbyist to own anything anymore. They have totally destroyed the Hobby so nobody but them can have anything. Now do not get me wrong I have owned a ton of Harley's Muscle cars etc, But give me a fucking break this is just way out of hand. But the good news is folks it is coming to a end by the next Decade people are not interested in millionaire hobby's anymore and those heads will only be worth there weight in scrap metal.The hobby will come back someday when the price of old bikes and parts go way down to rock bottom.
@@DeeInTheHouse Thanks, I went back through and looked at that 1955/56 Harley and the rear fender is not original the space by the front of the rear wheel is missing part of the fender, nice catch,
Your wrong im sorry but you are it was the BSA m20 that was the real liberator of Europe it was lighter faster more nimble and they built over 126,000 for England /Canada/Russia and served in almost Every theater of war from the 1938. it was the largest produced bike of WW2 Harley only produced 70,000 Norton built over 100.000. But the best bike of all was the German BMW R75.during WW2 more reliable built stronger and started up a lot easier. Americans say the Harley was the liberator of Europe because of pride but the numbers say otherwise. because they was so rare. It was also a common site to see the odd american riding a bsa m20. bloody facts hey there annoying arnt they lol. i hate bmws. Sorry my american freinds
It's refreshing to hear someone that knows his motorcycles. I really enjoyed the trip down memory lane.
Thanks for the excellent tour!
