OK. I have to say that 1983 feels like a good cutoff date, and I'd freeze it. Yeah, like alot of us, I have bikes outside the timeline. Those bikes just don't have any soul. Sure, they work great, they're light, but they ain't got no soul. I think Dale is on the right track here, and for now keep the date cutoff 1983. Remember, anybody can start a new list for those bikes built after 1983. Maybe call it the " Post Modern Bike List" I just don't care to be a member.
