When I learn that I cannot afford a motorcycle that I am checking out, or that the motorcycle I am investigating turns out to be the wrong kind, or that the motorcycle has already gone to another home, I feel more than anything relief. Yesterday I was relieved when I learned that the 1957 and 1967 BSA twins located somewhere in the neighborhood had already sold. Evidently, rather that $2500 for the pair, the price was $2500 each. So I really would not have been interested unless they were in pretty much ready to ride condition.
As it is, I need to replace the fork seals on the Benelli, replace the swing-arm bushings on the Morini, and figure out what to do about the forks on the 750 Sport.
So the Miata can stay in the garage for the time being (though I am told that it may go away in the spring) and I can continue to find dust seals for the Benelli. Perhaps the failing economy will be responsible for putting a nice Hailwood replica or F1 on the market.
