My dream vintage bike was one I saw in the Barbers Motorcycle Museum in Alabama. It was an early 1900’s Sears, (No doubt a re badged Excelsior), what fascinated me was all the controls were operated by rods with small “universal joints” creating a complex arrangement of rods and joints to operate the throttle, spark advance, and brake, all finished in nickel plating. Rider ? Maybe not, but truly a pice of living room art 😉.
Hmm. That Wilkinson, with a Nikken front end, or even a recent Piagiet(?) scooter front end, could make a fabulous Guerney-type recumbent trike-ish thing, hmm....

Looking good bud! Hope you're feeling better! Cheers from an old fan in Aussie
Not a bad price in South Africa. There are about 6 B Kings on eBay Uk. Lowest priced one is £7000.
The others are between £8500 and £9000.
70's Ducati 900 desmo for me
