I passed on a set of those when they were going for half that but it just seemed like ridiculous money at the time. Passed on a set of works Yamaha forks(forks only) for my OW27 I had that NEEDED them when they topped $1600.00. And now here these beauties starting at $2500.00.... This whole vintage thing tends to lose a bit of the fun when prices are through the roof. Can you imagine how much it would cost to build a proper bike around those forks?
The Shop
Fortunately for me, growing up I got to see a lot of the trick stuff from the era of yesterday. I only wish I realized than what I know now about it. But I was just a little kid back in the 80's and when these things were all over at my grandparents. My uncle is Jimmy Ellis, and that would make George Ellis (RIP granddad) my grandfather. So I'm sure you can appreciate some of the parts and knowledge around the shop when I grew up!
If I had the time, resources and money I would love to build a replica of one of Jimmy's can-am's the way my grandfather used to build them. To know then what I know now...I would have made my grandfather do it with me.
