I just published a book, Survivor: The Unrestored Collector Car and am working on a follow-up, Survivor II: The Unrestored Collector Motorcycle. I'm looking at the manufacturers and models you mention. Beautiful machines! If you live in the Twin Cities area, consider dropping by <a href="http://www.diamondscoffeeshoppe.com/getthere.php" rel="nofollow">Diamonds Coffee Shop</a> around 9 a.m. some Saturday morning. The Vintage Motorcycle guys meet there then. They're a nice and knowledge crew and they're always interested in other enthusiasts' bikes and recollections. Bet they know the shop and some of the people you mention. Sounds like you had some really neat bikes.

I am a 50's guy and loved riding . Bought my first motorcycle in 1957. It was a 1946 Indian Scout. Paid $350 for it and it was in the shop most of the time but nice. Then i got a 56 Indian Trailblazer. So nice. My friends had the BSA and Triumphs, and Ariel square four. I loved the sound of the Triumph T110 or Bonneville with megaphones. They sounded as good or better than the harleys. My buddy in Duluth owned a mc shop for mostly triumphs,bsa's and indians. He raced and was so good. Ted Archer.His kids ended up driving race cars. I also knew the Harley dealer and the dealer in west duluth for Kawawsaki's. I mean those were the good old days. Wish i would have known of the show. dave Interesting.
