      This is a mental problem of people. Nowadays, most people want to have the best, most expensive and best brand everything. Of course, in a very short time.
      Without knowing why they have it and this applies to many areas.

        I agree, and think that working for what you have is what gives value to material things. I have no problem with a rich guy that worked hard for the money to buy 100 old motorcycles, and a trophy mistress, but I have more respect for the working class guy that only has one bike that he's poured BS&T into, and has one wife that calls him in for diner when he's right in the middle of something. However, when you're young; you should do everything you can to enjoy your youth; so hanging around a bunch of old bastards with motorcycles may not become interesting until later in life.

          And I should add, that is why the AMCA is so valuable, and pertinent to this conversation. I first became aware of the AMCA from a Popular Mechanics magazine that had a small article about the AMCA, (circa mid 1970's). The AMCA opened a whole world of new (old knowledge) to me; and continues to enlighten me today. The AMCA is a staggering wealth of information that is now more accessible, and enormous than it ever was in the past, so I have no doubt it will continue to be an easily discovered epiphany to future young gearheads.
