fill a crate with vincents and brough superiors and they will sell great wherever you open the door...... trick is: filling the crate for less than what you get after you open the door...

Then you could just sell tissues and five minutes of alone time with the crate.

That's a totally true story, it all happened several decades ago, I have a friend who intercepted 1 container load of Triumphs and Triumph bits just before it left the country. We all thought he was crazy at the time, it looked like a lot of work and money for a few complete bikes and a sh*t load of used spare parts. Anybody need some weird and wonderful beat up engine casings & parts for 1970's Triumphs I could probably hook you up, all it would take is way too many bags of cash. You too could relive the joyous experience of leaking oil all down the road

It continues to happen, the US market is kinda soft right now due to the election cycle, but some brit stuff is really strong over there, esp norton commandos. It's all ebb and flow, a couple years back it was cheaper to find odd brit stuff in england (like MACs, Velocettes, and AJS) than here in the states, now everything looks strong by comparison.

The thing I am keeping my eye on is the norton f1 rotary became import legal this year, except I hardly ever see one for sale on ebay UK.

Good, box up those ugly british piles of shit and get em outta here.

Pretty sure it was Walridge. When Dick Wilson died and the Shakespeare shop closed his family sold all the parts, a couple of 3 tractor trailer loads to them. Dick would have lost his mind if he knew. They tried to buy'm before and he sent'm packing.

Exactly what is the point of bashing someone's bike they have worked hard to build? If you don't like it, move the hell on. Or at least keep your trap shut.

Thanks for for chiming in two years after the fact. Maybe you should keep your trap shut.

EDIT: just saw your intro post......you like the look of CX's......speaks volumes.....

Dear diary,

Today a bunch of people pointed out that my bike was dangerous/non-rideable/poor performing. I thought the internet was there to tell me how it's ok because I won't be riding it on the track.

1) why are you here?

2) just because someone worked hard doesn't mean they worked smart. pointimg that out, esp in the face of a somewhat laughable high price that is meant to ensnare those of lesser knowledge isn't "bashing" per se.

Again you are a traveler seeking knowledge, are you really going to argue or talk tough with the guides? You can ask questions and understand why people make the comments they do or you can fuck right off and find different guides and have a different journey. Choice is always yours.

Considering you like cx500s my suggestion is to go find some other hobby if you are going to be billy badass telling people to keep their trap shut.
