The demise of Classic Bikes

[MrDavo]

Our local(ish) Sainbury's has free air too, however I always get pipped to the air pump by some muppet who takes longer to blow their tyres up than I'd take to change the wheels, and probably put new tyres on them too.....

Like CB radio and after hours drinking, I mostly lost interest in porn once it stopped being illegal.

I'm seeing enough young lads getting interested in old classic bikes. We've got a few in the local bike forum including one who has renovated a good few Suzukis and Yamahas. He had one in Classic Bike of the Year recently. He also runs around on an old Matchless.

I went to the Haggis Gathering Autojumble in Lanark the other weekend and there were a lot of young guys under 40. (that's young to me!)

Bike shed and the like have made old bikes cool and long may it continue.

A few weeks ago now - (November, but near enough) and the old Volvo was being lined up for an overtake by a pair of immaculate two-strokes which had followed me through Harlow and onto the A414  going East. 

Windows were wound down and Little Mix switched off to allow my seven-year daughter to hear a pair of 80's two-strokes on full-chat.... surprisingly, she loved it... Ever since then, any vaguely noisy engine has been pronounced a 'buzzy-bee'as it scoots past! Fab  - the youngsters are still keen!

I take back what I said I keep catching my brother starring at my bikes.
So I sold him my CG and now I can't get him off it.
