What a great quote Chuck.. wonderful!
Today I got my "dream bike": a 1948 Raleigh Record Ace, beautifully restored by CR member Paul Riley. Bittersweet as parting with this must have been very hard for Paul. We did a nice (but uber windy) ride together, Paul on his RRA and me on my '51 Clubman, both painted the same colour. Not a sight often seen in our fair Capital.
I'd sleep with my RRA under my bed tonight if it were already crammed full of extra tyres and wheel sets.
