I had never heard of the Sarolea brand until I watched _Pawn Stars_
last night. The pawn shop had acquired a non-running 1942 model for
something like $4000. One of only 5 known to be in the United States.
My eyes went goggle when I saw it on TV -- almost as much as they do
whenever I visit the Trev Deeley motorcycle museum here in Vancouver:

Restored the Sarolea would look like this:

What if some other obscure vintage bike like this shows up
on the local Craig's? For any number of sensible reasons it would
be totally impractical for me to buy it... but I might anyway.
Heaven must look after fools and drunks; otherwise I'd have been
SOL long ago.
