I know, I know. I have said this before, but let me rephrase it in context and say it again. A person can buy a $5000 bike every year, ride the pee outta it all year, and throw it away at the end of the year. Every.year.for.the.rest.of.his.life. And not spend as much as one quintuple bypass costs. It ain't about the bike, it is about the engine.
That said, I have a lot of vintage bikes, and I like to ride 'em all.
