Lucky you (actually, we both know luck has little to do with it, just  
lots of work and a complementary obsession). I met Bernard briefly on  
a tour a few years ago and was greatly impressed. Loved the toys.  
Jay's a man after my own heart, though I wouldn't care to have a  
collection that esoteric. But I'd take all of his bikes (except that  
goofy Brough Superior styled chopper thingy).
