    Ever since I've been watching Jays Garage my interest in old bikes has perked. Last night I rented the movie "Benjamin Button" and his bike looked way awesome. I think it's an Indian.

    I have never been into motorcycles until now. I still do not like crotch rockets, Harleys or any other modern motorcycle but Jays Suzuki Hustler, Vincent and the Indian in Benjamin Button make me want to own one.

    Are these bikes expensive? I'm sure the Vincent is. Maybe I can start on a more basic bike (cheaper, safer, easier to work on). Where do I find bikes like this? Any suggestions on which ones to hunt for or start with? Most of these bikes are from the 30s-50s so I'm assuming they are hard to find.

    Thanks.

    We have a new section for motorcycles called Sprockets.

    And there is an awesome song about a Vincent: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hlylarCRayI
