@Mike T has posted the first of two great videos from this year's Barber Vintage Festival. The second video (one you won't want to miss) should be released next week. But you subscribe to his channel so I really don't need to tell you this.

Yes. Not sure if you have been paying attention but prices have fallen off the table. In a year or two I bet you can pick that up for $5k.

Well, I thought I had been paying attention but that still caught me out !

If you didn't watch this video you may want to pour yourself a stiff drink first.

Remember when you told the wife that these old bikes were a good investment? Yeah, we knew that was a lie then too.

Mine aren’t investments…

My goal is for them to be completely worn out, blown up, and useless by the time I’m done !

See if you recognize anyone in this one...

....and that's why I never spent tens of thousands on "jewelry". You never get it back.

Sure wish Kenny was still in Seattle. At least there would be somebody that fully understands Nortons and knows how to treat one on a dyno.

Schwany, I'll be sure to let you know next time I'll be in town. My whole family is there.

There is that. And, anybody that likes to ride road bikes on a dry surface would not want to be in Seattle. The dry riding season is really short. If one likes proving they are tuff enough and have a lot of luck riding in the cold with a fogged up face shield in the wet it's here at least 70% of the year.

Hence, 70% dyno time!

The reason many older guys have nice classic motorcycles, is because we bought them when we were young and kept them. To me, the current price of old motorcycles means nothing. Scrooge McDuck is often portrayed with dollar signs in his eyes. A motorcycle wrecker once told me that he relies on turnover - not possession and increase in value of rare items.
