RE: [ST] Vintage Bike Rally

["Andrew F. Kay, Jr. " <captainquack@xxxxxxxxxx>]

You know, there are lots of times I want to ride the older bikes, but
it's too far, or I need the hard bags to haul the stuff I flog.
Sometimes the weather is bad, so I don't want to get the old bike dirty
or myself all wet.

Anyway, I don't want to sell the old ones, but they don't get ridden
that much anymore.  I put 20k a year on my '79 T140 until I got the
first Hinckley.

Maybe maturity isn't that good a thing, Dogood, you and I don't seem
destined for it.  Death maybe, but no maturity.

       Our local Brit Bike club had a very nice Vintage Bike Rally
yesterday, a very pleasant afternoon.  My '84 VF1000F Interceptor was
disqualified as being only 21 years old,... I guess it's just 'mature'.
First prize was won by a beautiful Commando but it
was difficult, several choice old bikes.

       Curiously, there were twice as many Hinckley Triumphs in
attendance as Meridens!  Sign of the times.
