motorcycles anyone?

I used to be a dirt bike fanatic when I was younger. Spent a lot of my teen years beating the crap out of a Honda trail 90. Amazing what those things would take!
Then I moved up to a '67 Ducati 450. Cool old bike. The front wheel would actually slightly bounce up and down when it idled. Torque galore. Awsome hill climber. Finally got rid of it when they quit importing Ducatis for several years in the early 80's, and I couldn't get parts for it anymore.
Next came a '68 BSA 441 Victor. Didn't have that one very long. Was starting to have a family, and the toys had to go. But it was another sweet old bike. I was bringing it home from the guy I bought it from in the back of my dads truck. Some guy on a motorcycle comes blasting up behind me, then comes over along side for a bit. Then he comes up along side the passenger side window. When I looked over to see what the heck he was doing, he gives me a big smile and a thumbs up, and off he goes.
I'd like to have both the Ducati and the BSA back. They're collectors now. I am storing a '63 Harley Davidson 250 Sprint for a friend of mine now. It's a total basket case. He had to move to Texas several years ago, and didn't have room to take it with him. But if he never comes and gets it.....
Any old bike fans out there?
