There's Euro Cycles in Odessa. I've seen a few 60's Triumphs and Nortons for sale there, so they're probably you're best bet locally. Otherwise, you might want to hit up the local bike nights. There's this one guy that always wins awards for his 60's Norton that's up at Quaker Steak on Wednesdays. I've also seen some old Euro bikes sitting outside of a shop on 49th street south of Park Blvd in St. Pete. I don't know the name of it, but if you're heading south on 49th, they're on the right.

Straight. Roll down to Biff Burger on Saturday if you're in St. Pete. There's a lot of bikes there, mostly Harleys, but there are also a few old school Euros. Some of the vintage Harley guys might know about vintage Euros too.

I almost bought this 1937 James / Villiers bike from ebay a while back - it sold for cheap, like $1100, but it was in canada. Man that would have been cool.

There is a place near Tyrone mall in St pete, believe the name is MSP and they sell Triumph parts. I'll have to look up my invoices from home to get the number and the name if I am wrong about it. They do a lot of mail order stuff but you can wqalk in also. PM me to remind me to look for it tonight.

Check RTM they've got an old Norton w/sidecar up there right now. They've fixed a ton of old BMW's and Triumphs.

I love old retro bikes. I'd like to get my hands on a '48 Harley FL. Those bitches are hot.

The old Indians are bad ass too, but the old Harleys look similar and are much easier to get parts for. I think the HD Panhead motor is simply the hottest motorcycle engine ever produced. I think it dropped down some bad ass 40hp also!
