Like with old bikes, when spares run out it’s down to old guys with superb engineering skills to fabricate parts. The sad thing is, that young people will inherit classic cars, bikes, planes, boats etc, and will have no interest and also no appreciation as to the history and value of their inheritance. When I visit the Hollyville cafe, about half a mile past the Brands Hatch main entrance on the right towards M25, on Sundays, it’s usually awash with ‘50’s to ‘70’s bikes ridden by old guys like me. Give it less than 20 years, where will all those bikes be. I know where the old guys will be. Quite sad really. :'(

You've hit the nail on the head - you don't really see many 50 - 65 year old's belting around on classic British stuff, but you'll see them on GS's, Z'ds and the like.
