I used to buy Land Rover parts from a guy that you could only communicate with via US mail. (30 years ago). He used to make post cards out of old Land Rover parts boxes. Pretty novel idea.

With continued hope, and some good detective work, along with a modicum of luck, you never know what might turn up. It might not be much more than closure however, as I found when I located my first bike after 40 years MIA. I owned a '66 Benelli 250 Sprite back in '72. It was my first bike, and the ...

When I had my first GT380 I spotted a 1972 S2 for sale in the classifieds, so I rode along for a looksee. Pretty ratty build quality, compared to the Suzuki, but I took it for a ride anyway.
