>I almost bought a Velocette, once. If you don't know them, they are the
absolute, distilled essence of English single-cylinder motorcycles.
You learn something new every day. I knew a bike dealer long ago that sold
Velocette among other brands. I know they were high-tone, but did not know
they were British.
I guy I know had four bikes I remember at one particular time.
Wards (some Czech dirt bike)
Kawasaki Mach 3
Vincent Black Shadow
Arial Square Four (I am sure I blew the spelling)
He still has the Square Four. He traded the Vincent Black Shadow for a Porsche
which he wrecked, then got religion. He has a huge collection of odd cars
and bikes now, I guess, although I see him infrequently these days. The weird
part is that of all people, he won the local Superamerica gas station contest
and was awarded the new BMW 318!
