    Hi, I am a lifetime motorcyclist. At the moment I own Vincents, Rudge and Airhead BMWs. Perhaps I am not alone. As my riding days are coming to an end, I need to find good homes for the collection. Anyone else with this problem?

    Welcome to the AMCA forum, klipscomb. I guess we all think about the fate of our beloved motorcycles. In my case-----I'm taking them with me

      Klipscomb; Welcome!

      In my circumstances I am Bless to have a nephew that is a Good man and I will likely leave my bike to (hopefully DECADES from now).

      Don't know your circumstances and not trying to be nosy; I give you big credit for considering the end; of riding days or of life.

      Barring close family or friends I would consider letting my bike go to some "like minded individual" (This is usually where I plug joining your local chapter to connect with same)

      Again WELCOME
      (And pictures of motorcycles are always appreciated)

        Greeting's Klipscomb. I'm getting around there also, but as long as i pass the DMV test, i'll keep on two wheels!
        If You are not so fortunate to have decent relatives or friends, there is always a Museum that would oblige You.

            I was thinking 'spiritually', JoJo Mummification, a bit over the top.

                Welcome to the club and forum.

                I hope to be riding until the end, then if my two brothers are still around, they can have them. If not, my kids will figure something out.

                  Never give in folks! My 90 year old Dad has just gone from 2 wheels to 3. Took a bit of adjusting to but now he loves it.
