Are you in touch with Bill Cable. He is into classic British and German
motorbikes. He is a regular at US 'swapmeets' where there are real
bargains in European spares. He says someone visiting from the UK could
make a real killing buying and shipping back parts. I was at an Ohio
swapmeet in July and there were 400 traders, most with classic bikes.
He has just built a new building to house his collection.
I rebuilt a 1950s BMW engine for him when I was last there. It started
for the first time in 8 years.
