Let’s see. I’m 66, retired, married to the same woman since 1977, not dumb enough to think that I can be young again.... I guess I’m not supposed to own a 1050 Tiger. It’s a great touring bike no matter what some parts guy thinks.
Though I like the old bikes I’d never get one unless I had a place to display it. I rode a 1970 Yamaha 650 a few years back. I was reminded of just how bad those bikes were compared to today’s. Pretty bikes. But rely on a 60s Triumph or BSA? Never. They are better in memory than reality. And my memory still has those times I had to thumb home and get a pickup truck.
My first car was a 1936 Packard 120 and my friend had a 1936 Indian Chief formerly owned by the local fire department and ridden by the Chief. The Indian was darn near as long as my Packard!! Both beautiful and today I consider works of art.
