Riding a '38 Autocycle Deluxe
I enjoy car restorations. I look at the so called patina cars ... rat rods. ...They look used. Nice but Doesn’t do anything for me.. if the car is in excellent original condition it should be saved just as bikes. Steve McQueen bullet brought 3.5 million.. to me it’s a historically important car and I agree with the price..but it was a pice of junk without Steve’s name.....half restored cars....People Seem to call them originals.. they are not. They are partial restored.. new paint means new paint not old. custom cars / bikes are amazing.. tons of work and looks like art when done.. I enjoy them but not doing them. Too much work / money and not enough appreciation. I lucked into original and restored bikes I buy what shows up not anything specific. Original Patina seems to be the norm for bikes.. I have them as some restored. I freak when a restored bike /car gets scratched but not a original.. funny to think that way because scratches is a form of giving patina and years from now it will be patina..lol
