Regarding the price of Classic bikes, as those of you who read my ramblings in The Star will know, I've been quietly banging on about this for a long time.
Its great that they are increasing in value to enable those of us who restore to know that we are likely to get some if not most of what we've spent on them back if and when we sell them, to fund the next restoration. However, the price people are paying for incomplete or basket cases which no-one (including the owner) knows the history of is ridiculous.
If only people would stop and make the simple calculation of 'what will it cost me to restore to a useable, on the road machine?' then 'what are they currently selling for (not asking prices)?' Take one from t'other and that's what its really worth!
I doubt this will happen sometime soon.
Have a good Christmas day tomorrow folks!
