For the most part, I think everybodys top ten list would include the same bikes.
It's just a matter of what order they would be in.

Good job on the list Nate. I don't think you missed any!

I'm electing a Bowden as #11 if you add a middle weight

BOWDEN??????? Sorry, he only said 10! NO BOWDEN! Rules are rules, Buddy!

I'd try to squeeze a Rollfast Hoppy into the list somewhere.

I'm not a fan of the Evinrude, Mercury, or four bar Elgins--I'd take a '57-8 WF X53 over any of those! Also I prefer the '37 Super Streamline to the '36 model so my list would be a little different. Also this would be the pre-war list I'd have a seperate top ten for the post war ballooners. v/r Shawn

What would your top ten be I figured every one would have different opinions. would like to see what every ones opinions are. I would pass on any X53, Hoppy, and the bowden would be in the running. But that is my opinion.
