I guess I know the exceptions. 

One of my friends has rebuilt her BMW motorcycles countless times and 
ridden off for the wilds of Mexico on them. Another one was a dedicated 
AFM motorcycle racer and built her own racebikes. Yet another desperately 
longs for a 1950's Triumph Bonneville, another has rebuilt her Norton and 
Triumph motorcycles to perfection. And finally there's the gal who has 
several Ducati motorcycles and is a total Alfa freak, and her favorite 
Alfa is the '78 Sport Sedan.
