In my experience I have not yet noted much, if any of a downward spiral. If there is one, "I" most certainly do hope it continues so that "I", and others that may not be relatively wealthy, have the opportunity to find, purchase and RIDE these vehicles. I'm not trying to dis' any of you that make all or a portion of your income from the "classic bike trade", I'm just looking out for my best interests to make up for my lack of foresight.
