when i see it in black and white i have to think, :wtf: am i doing :uglystupid2:
i can't stop buying bikes. and this is just the old school stuff. i got quite a few fakes for the parts they had allthough i tend to give them away to friends for thier kids to thrash.
I do not ride one single bike from that list, i ride a '92 webco classic.
sometimes i say the magic words, 'i am gonna sell the lot' but have never sold one. :-[ . Then i promise myself that i will 'thin my collection out' so i try to decide which ones can go and tht doesn't work either. I know i am not the only one.

i only wanted a T/A and a trickstar. Have i got one of either, have I fook.

Ah well.
