I am thinking about adding some sort of vintage bike the stable. I find i am drawn to the Euro bikes for some odd reason - particularily Huskys, old Pentons or KTMs and Maicos - once in a while an old bultaco seems interesting. What i need is some advice in general, about the pit falls of going down this "old path"!
As far as how old - sometimes its the early to mid 70s bikes that seem of interest - other times its much newer stuff, far from current, but not ancient - like mid 80s. there are a few jap bikes that draw my attention largely because I remember dreaming about them when I was a kid - like that PE175 i almost bought back in 1979, and others.
Rather open ended question I realize - but any suggestions on where to start, what to watch out for etc?
