im getting ready to start a board track racer replica using an old bicycle and a 2 stroke engine. so as im cruising through the bike forum i came across this thread http://motorbicycling.com/f38/vintage-b ... 11507.html (http://motorbicycling.com/f38/vintage-board-track-harley-indian-clothing-11507.html) i find it kind of neat to see some of this old motorcycle gear, so here's the question to all of you, is there a place that has vintage replica/real  "britt" ridding gear??? 8)

Is it really an adventure bike if its wheels never see dirt?
