Yup, all the rage around here too (SE Michigan). I bought a milk crate full
at a yard sale and have been able to supply a few people. Of course there
were no '62's for my car,but a friend gave me a pair. Guess what goes
around comes around. We are restricted on use also, but there is no
definition of touring, so I figure anything goes (but officer, I was touring
to work today). One I gave to my neighbor ('56) was pretty rusty and had
some metal missing, so sent it off to Mojo Art Works (www.mojoartworks.com,
I think) and for $55 he repaired and restored it. Did a good job too. No
affiliation of course. The B's not old enough yet, 25yrs is our limit.
Next year the '78 Honda Trail 90 will be eligible. Cost is $35 for life and
all you need do is send in a photocopy of the plate (along with your check).
Safety Fast!
