We nearly stopped in there when we were over in the Summer!
Except we saw the musuem hours were so short we would have missed it by the time we got up, fought Mark for the car keys and re-programmed the Sat Nav, my boss lent us to get to WV.
Honestly, classic and vintage bikes fetch good money (if it's a good complete bike), but basket cases do come up and often they get cannablised or 'disapppear' because the number plates are worth something too. Car owners sometimes buy a bike transfer the plate and ditch the bike. My brothers bike came with no number plate so he had to re-register it, which devalues the vehicle. It was a local bike but had a Scots number plate (plate has to fit the age of the bike, and once numbers run out in a heavily populated area a plate is supplied from a less densely populated place).
You had better start shipping
Although there are plenty of classic bikes, they stay with their owners. There is an Ariel at Bike Night, Mark has got to know the owner quite well, always have a chat together. He has had the bike since new and once he gives up riding (God Knows how old he must be) his son will ride it. We couldn't afford to buy it anyway.
Just had to look for a Water Buffalo once you said about it. Found a custom rebuild, looks nice.
So what the thought on Kawasaki's?
