My pal is a dyed in the wool Laverda/BSA fanatic, having several of both. He was on the waiting list when Slaters were bringing in a limited number of SFC's, in the early 80's. Initially he lost out when the bikes were allocated to those on the list, but someone higher up the list cancelled, and my pal was first reserve so to speak. The dilemma then became, if I ride the bike as I want to, it will depreciate in value. If I don't ride it, what's the point of owning it. In the late 90's it financed a new Speed Triple, when the single swing arm model came out.
