Like a dream come true. I very rarely see another vintage bike on the road when I'm out.

Mine are all classic I believe. Cannot remember the cut off years for classification. There are a lot of classic, vintage and veteran bikes around, but none of the owners seem to ride very much. The bikes just collect dust in the garage or are trailered to shows.

Can't remember the years, but "Veteran & Vintage" are between the wars and before WW1??? (May be out slightly)

"Classic" is roughly over 25 years of age!
