Too many two-wheelers here? (upd. PreWarWheelz !)

Noticeable lately is the proliferation of cycles and motorcycles where we expect to see cars. I am also a collector of bicycles and a writer on motorcycles, but prefer a car site to be about cars.

 From another viewpoint, may we soon expect a 'Pre-war Two-Wheeler' site?

editor:

The borderline definition between cars and motorcycles is a thin grey line. Especially when you take a retrospective look. How do you define the exact differences between a monocycle, bicyclce, tricycle, quadricycle, cyclecar and car?  In other words how are you going to judge who is in and who is out? More interesting it is to see that obviously the afficonados of old cars also have a strong appetite for other vintage vehicles. Over the past twelve years - not only recently - we have seen listed for sale: trucks, vans, cars, caravans, horsedrawn carriages,  motorcycles, bicyclces, boats, aeroplanes and sleds! And yes at rare occasions even houses. These were exceptions as we don't see houses as vehicles, yet it must be said that of the two houses involved, one was strongly connected to Rolls Royce history, the other one to the history of Amilcar. And for what it's worth, any barnfound Zeppelin would be equally welcome.  

to Bob:  we would highly value your contributioons as a motorcycle correspondent, would you like to do something like a blog within these pages?
