Overtime, countless elegantly crafted pieces of machinery have been forgotten until the youth of that era resurrects survivors and relives their better years once they fall into a little bit of mad cash. This process is too slow because the rarer classics, unlike your more conventional classics like the 1972 Malibu SS or the 1969 Camaro SS, will be forgotten. For example the 1969 Volvo 140-series, these magnificent classics are getting rarer and rarer by the minute, and every time I hear about one being pulled apart like an organ donor I want to weep. Sure search away and you’ll find clean representatives of the species but the cult following of the Swedish gold needs to grow and grow fast before all hope and future admirers know not what of. This isn’t the only endangered classic, others would have to include the 1982 XJ550 Seca and the 1980 Suzuki GS1100 but it doesn’t just stop there. These bikes are getting harder and harder to find and must join the list amongst other forgotten treasures. I purpose to start a charity to save the endangered metal of the 20th century. Round up these specimens of history, repair them as see fit, preserve them, and ride the holy hell out of them to let them know they’re still alive and appreciated. VIVA LA RAREZA!
