In "making my rounds" of this and other online old bike forums, I find myself running across photos of bikes I have always wanted to own. In no particular order, and this is a VERY short part of a list that used to read more like a museum inventory...
Britten V1000
Triumph Blackbird
BSA Rocket III
Scott Flying Squirrel
Norton P11
Sunbeam S7
Vincent Black Lightning
Honda 250 6-cyl Hailwood replica
Maico 400
Yamaha YZ250
Anyway, as to the title of this thread, Lately I run across photos of some of these bikes, and while I still love and appreciate the bikes on my former "wish list", I just can't see spending the money it would take to acquire MOST of these, and I don't know how much actual seat time I'd get on one or all of them if I DID buy one or more...
I'll never be able to afford one, and it's probably THE MOST impractical of all of them, but the Britten will remain on my list till I die.
I believe I'd get the most seat time on a Triumph Blackbird.
I DEFINITELY want and am actually in a position to buy an Indian FTR, and would ride it regularly.
The rest are just memories that would be impractical at this stage...
