Much like the way we all acquire our bikes over the years actually. I've been at it for 40 years.
For myself, growing up in the Connecticut River Valley which was the gun making capital of the world, I've always been fascinated with the various mechanical designs of the the different gun makers. None can remotely compare with John Browning. My favorite era is the 20's and 30's. Just absolutely gorgeous stuff.
