Musings about life through the eyes of an old helicopter pilot.

Now and then you'll see a machine that has been restored so perfectly it takes your breath away. Driving such a machine on the street, risking damage seems a shame. To me,this old BMWfalls into that category.
Check out this: chicara.com We had a couple of his bikes as set dressing on one of the projects I worked on. I'd park one of these babies in the living room.
I sat on two of those bikes and the first thing that entered my mind was "which body part of mine is goin to get ripped off first". These babies start at 1 Mil.
I had a Honda Trail 70 myself and it brings me back to my YOUTH. But I don't quite think I'd shell out close to $7K for a bike that originally tagged for $650!

THAT is one magnificent machine. You'd have to be Jay Leno to use that as a daily ride, though....

I concur; GORGEOUS!
But, on the other hand, would you pay $6,800 for a perfect 1971 Honda Trail 70 with 77 original miles?
