Things change

I do agree.
But I'd say that you must be able to read it: too many times I've seen people learn nothing from their mistakes.

Amen.

The past, not necessarily your own, gives you a clue about the future.

I remember going to a Harley dealership... it was a converted house and two car garage. The house was the showroom and the garage... ahh... the garage.

I remember talking to a Norton dealer who told me he was quitting the business because bikes had gotten way too expensive for the average rider... $4000 that year.

I remember when Honda was dumping bikes into the USA and TARIFFS saved HD.

I remember when the coolest choppers were made in some guy's garage from a Norton, Triumph, Honda or Harley.

I remember when bikes weren't "art".

Yep, I remember going into a dealership (H-D of Salem County NJ) around the mid 70's and a new Dresser was about $3500.00. I had a '72 Sportster at the time.

They say that when you start to look back that's because your getting old... 

LOL... I've always been old... but that is another story. The past, not necessarily your own, gives you a clue about the future.

That's for sure...   Changing all over.  And not for the good, mostly
