Why do it?

“Our strapline on our website states ‘Bringing you the bikes you always dreamed of’ – and to be fair, this is what I’ve done for more than 20 years. Money is obviously important but there’s no greater reward than selling these wonderful machines to someone who’s desperately wanted one forever. We sold a BSA Gold Star 500 to a chap in Colorado last week. He informed me that we’d managed to fulfil a 55-year-old dream he’d carried with him since he was 13! Old British bikes aren’t just for riding; they are beautiful, can set your heart aflutter while aboard them, and stir wonderful memories in wizened old boys who used to flog them around leafy back lanes to meet the love of their life.”
