That's pretty cool that you can keep them in your house.I also have an R1 for track days but these are my main road bikes, indoors for the winter.
Glad your wrist healed so you could play.. Too bad you didn't keep the vw, you could buy a Gola or Excelsior.The one and only motorcycle I ever owned was a much battered third hand BSA Bantam 125cc two stroke as in this picture:
Our association ended when a motorist (who claimed he hadn't seen us) in effect parked his car in the middle of the intersection, blocking our way. We ran smack into the passenger side door, breaking my wrist in the process.BSA 125c.c. Model D1 Bantam Motorcycle Metal Sign Size | Etsy Australia

Hmmmmm, interesting, shows the strength of my memory, good chance mine is therefore in the 76 - 78 vintage. Thanks![Re Schwinn Superior] Maybe not 1973 - the story I'm getting is that they discontinued it 1964, and then used the name again 1976-'78. I think both "fillet brazed" frames, assembled without lugs, but the '70s version was of course a more modern bicycle with 3 piece alloy cranks etc. Then in the early '80s there was a Superior eventually with lugged frame and Campy components.

yes but those are melodeonsInteresting parallel - a few years back there was an "Other interests" discussion over at the melodeon.net forum which centres around playing British Isles folk music on diatonic boxes. Two non-musical interests that came through strongly were motorcycles, and church bell ringing.
Planned obsolescence is the way to go if you want to keep selling stuff ;-)I wonder if an old prinnie is officially a "classic" these days.
Best bikes ever made.
Just like the best cars ever made (SAAB), they were so good, they had to go bust.
