Anyone own an old bike as well as a modern one?

I've got a classic honda 400/4 that comes out when the sun's is shining. What's yours?

That's heartbreaking. I hope you're coping OK. There's something about a motorcycle of someone who has passed away that just hits me in the feels, really bad for some reason.

For a lot of the vintage and classic bikes, British and foreign, parts supply is pretty good and seems to get better year on year. With modern materials and technology and expertise and specialist clubs they can be used all year round if you don't mind the cleaning.
