He can tell me lots of technical stuff, whilst I simply admire the smooth lines & old colours.
And let's not forget the sound......
So thought I would start a picture thread so we can share the treasures that we spot.

Lovely Old Bikes
My fella & I really love old bikes. Whenever we are out & about we always keep an eye out for an old beauty.

Re: Lovely Old Bikes
Hoping to see some good vintage & classic bikes at Calne at the weekend. Will post some more pics then.
Have any of you guys seen old bikes recently?

Re: Lovely Old Bikes
I've seen a surge in small cc Japanese bikes from the 80's round here. No pics to show for it though.

Re: Lovely Old Bikes
Don't you just love the old colours on that Triumph?
I bet it sounds good too!
Good find HG.

Re: Lovely Old Bikes
I regularly go on rides with a bunch of neighbors, and we ride a pretty eclectic mix of machinery; that's my bike on the extreme left, then a vintage Vespa, a modern Vespa, and a late 60's BMW airhead:
And we rode to this place.
This is not a museum. It's just a guy's house
He's got a really eclectic collection of stuff, and that room is just for Beemer airheads. He's got another room for a vintage scooter collection, and another room that's all Monkey bikes. Kinda weird.
