I like vintage bikes because they take me away from the clutter of technology that I work with everyday and back to a simpler time of mechanical elegance and simplicity.. "ninadm"

Neither, but I have an old bike! And I can bring my camera and get hundreds of bike shots just like I do at the car shows. :)

It's some British crap. Don't even worry about it Shine.
It's all about what kind of clothes you wear. and that's some conformist bullshit.

Yeah, in the '50's the mods were the bikers that were just as much, if not more, into the clothes than the bikes. they often dressed up better than the rockers, who favored boots, jeans and leather jackets. There's some great stories about these old times being written in the last two issues of Cafe Racer magazine.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mods_and_RockersHere's the link to the show….the IMPORTANT thing about it is that there will be HUNDREDS of old bikes there!
http://www.modvrocker.com/homeAnd to update my reply on which I am….well I don't ride scooters, so I guess if I get my bike going in time, I'll be starting the event at the rockers location. :) IF, and that's a big IF, I can get the day off.

Mark, I'm planning on making the pilgrimage as well. We should see if we can't get a group of us to make the trip. Any other Florida riders want to come along?? Oh and for those that are too young to know Mods vs Rockers, the Mods were into fully dressed Vespa scooters, suit and ties, clean fingernails  , etc. The Rockers thankfully are the roots of our beloved Cafe' bikes. If you ever get a chance to see the film "Quadrophenia" by The Who, you'll get a clear understanding. If you don't know who The Who are, then i regretfully give up all hope on the youth of today lol.

Part of the advantage of being in an urban area with 50Gbps Internet service. I can look up all kinds of things on the internet…6 browser windows open and searching simultaneously on 2 24" monitors, everything coming up almost instantly. Oh man, when I think of the old days with the 300 baud acoustic couplers…..LOL
From what I'm reading online, there's a worldwide uptick in the interest level on these old bikes, well, all old bikes, and they're getting more and more expensive. Buy your extras now!
