Fair point vinnyb. Most years I watch the bikes start off at Tattenham Corner on the annual Pioneer Run, which is for pre1915 veteran bikes. I have no real interest in the belt drive flat tankers, but regard the event as the opener in a new years biking season. However if this event was for Goldies, Bonnies,Road Rockets etc, I would be all over it like a rash as it's an era I relate to and was part of. The same goes for the value of these bikes. I can appreciate the value and rarity in say a Rocket Gold Star, but not in something that needs to be pushed up hills even though it's 100 plus years old.
You are perfectly correct. It's only going to be a special niche of people who will appreciate and attach value to bikes way out of their age zone in the future.
