I'm heart broken.
I've been having odd thoughts in my mind for quite a while now and I really dont know what to do. I have quite a nice collection of bikes/parts/frame and forks in my loft that never get seen and i'm contemplating getting rid of all of it. If i was in a possition to buy a bigger house with a "boys" room then i'd not be writing this but im not sure i ever will to be honest.. Perhaps i'm just depresed as I popped out to get a bottle of wine last sunday on my TA and come off breaking my finger and taking a f*ck off chunk out of my other palm
I dont know really... I've been collecting for nearly 10 years....but think I may be falling out of love. help

are you going to MK Si?
Sure you'll feel the love there, even if it's only for 5 minutes in Diggler's van

we all go through it, it's just a phase :daumenhoch:
-
Dont buy a bigger house, get a bigger shed/showroom :daumenhoch:

Hahaha.. Yes griff i'm going to Mk and camping out. You know how it is.... i just dont know if its worth it. I've got alot of n.o.s parts that are probebly worth quite a bit of money and i'm questioning weather someone else should be enjoying it..
I'm lost brother.. :-\

Si the passion comes and goes mate, a few beers and looking at all of the wonderful show and shine efforts will get your blood pumping again :daumenhoch:
p.s. sorry to hear about the finger :-*
-
Si, get yourself round the camp-fire on the helipad mate and we'll all take the pish out of each other, get drunk and make you feel better ya big girl's blouse, so cheer the fook up :knuppel2:
Oh, sell the NOS parts and buy some needing attention and love to restore them, you'll feel so much better :LolLolLolLol:
Am I helping ??? :2funny:

i was there back in april /may,i looked at my bikes and thought 'wtf am i doing with a room full of kids bikes!' due to personal circumstances the love had gone but its back with a bang now and im so glad i didnt act on impulse and start shifting my collection,id be livid now.the passion for old school comes and goes but i realised pretty quickly that its what makes me at this point in my life and im glad the bikes are there,and im the envy of my mates too :P
-
Sell some gear, go on holiday with the funds, come back and start a new build :laugh:
-
Sell everything keep you favourite and get one of these which is my plan in years to come :coolsmiley:

-
I did it.
Sold some nice stuff, and regret doing so.
Am gonna buy a few soon though, I can feel it.
-
I think you're absolutely right Si my man, I think you should get rid of the lot, you'll feel much better. I'll take the NOS Fred Z's, the NOS Quad and the green Skys for a start, I'll be round next week to collect my stuff. :LolLolLolLol:
Seriously mate, don't do it, YOU WILL REGRET IT.
Beat Mick up instead to release your tension.

depends on whether you want a hug, or advice.......
are you defined by what your stash is? material possesions are often not as good as you initially think they are.
sometimes its the chase thats important.
-
Can i dib the contents of your collection ,,,,,,,,,,,,, only joking mate like its already been said don't act on impulse i'm sure you'd regret it ,
Some more advice don't drink and ride it fookin hurts :LolLolLolLol: :LolLolLolLol:

sold mine, no regrets mate - they were stuck under a plastic sheet in the cellar and I hated not having them on show - got 4 newish bikes now that I ride when I can, much happier!
I still have the love, you just have to have to decide whats more important and I have had more fun riding than polishing.
Some lucky feckers have both, but its not possible for me. ;)
-
I'm sort of new on this scene, but my advice is if your not certain, dont do anything. No harm in keeping it stashed away for a year or two, while you focus on other stuff. At least you know that the stuff you have will hold its value.
For me I would only sell my bmx collection if I had a definate plan on what to do with the cash, ie deposit on house, kids uni fees ect, wifes boob job :)
-
I'm feeling the same :'(
Came off my bike a while back and I'm struggling to find the spark :-\
I'm really looking forward to MK and seeing all the faces and all the amazing builds you guys do...............something which I seem incapable of doing :-[
-
si stop being a TIT and no you cant beat me up :)
-
I felt the same a month ago . I didn't loose the love for BMX I just didn't see the point of having nice bikes in the spare room gathering dust so I Sold 3 bikes :( and some bits :idiot2: and started a new bike ive never had before :daumenhoch:

Si told me he was 'Well hard' and you was 'Gay'.......................................................................No contest i'm afraid Mick :-[
-
mmmh dont sell any of it but do sell all of it and buy something you really like be it motorcycle,car or a 12" rubber coc! :LolLolLolLol:
im not much help but i do regret selling some of my bikes but if i didnt then i wouldnt be able to buy my mtb bike i had wen i was 17
swings n roundabouts im afraid if you can afford not to sell your stuff and can afford to buy another build then do it
-
I've sold all my bikes bar the Pro-Star, and who's to say that won't go either if I feel the need. One thing that can't be sold is memories and knowledge, the rest are just materials related to it. :daumenhoch:
The negative side, all the money has gone into a new Kitchen so I'm just glad I bought a couple of toys beforehand.
I have absolutely no regrets with anything I've sold and was totally sure about that, if you're not then don't.
