Just God damned beautiful Turbo.....almost made me cry. :'( :D
I think the thing I most like about motorcycling is the speed at which my brain must process information at to avoid the numb skulls who are eating pies, playing the ukulele, applying make-up etc in the comfort of their airconditioned armchairs as they make random attempts to kill me!!!!!!!

I met a guy at an auction, went over to his place to buy some vintage lights..

 there was a slim small crate there, he said a 47 CZ was inside it.. :o

 bet I could sorta find that place or him if I went back there and drove around a bit..

       I think it was back in the '90s when I saw where a 50's BSA Gold Star (still in the crate) brought a little over $10K. NOW, if I could just find someone who bought a 1969 road runner, took it home kept it garaged and maintained and would sell it to ME reasonably priced! ;D   Sorry, I know this was about bikes and I just had to throw in a car. :-X
