Post by: davevilla on February 05, 2009, 08:43 AM: I know mate...been collecting for about 14 months...ten (or is it eleven) builds now finished or on the go in the garage. Still looking, still thinking 'one more'...it has to stop, but how I don't know...we probably need to start a therapy group or something.

My wife has asked me (more out of curiosity than anger I think) why do I need the bikes, and I honestly can't give her a straight answer other than 'I'm buying the stuff I wanted when I was kid'. Thing is I don't remember lusting after Hutch bikes as a kid, or wanting a TRM, or wanting 11 bikes...if that reason was accurate I would have a huge box of porn, a Trans Am, and a complete set of Star Wars figures stashed away :)

Tell me about it Dave, i'm not working much either at the mo. And what does that give me, yes correct more time in front of the computer.
To much of anything you like can make an addiction. But why not you only live once. When the cash runs out we will all be able to ride around on trick bikes going like fook cause we only weigh about six stone. At least Mr tesco will not be able to catch us when we cycle around the store doing a supermarket sweep. :2funny: :2funny:

That sums it for me, started with the idea of a 85 Master a few years ago (yet to be finished !! :LolLolLolLol:)
and I'm ending with one Haro for each year 83-88 and a few other brands...

all because of RAD !!! :D :daumenhoch:

The fun must be in the process!

(i'm sure that was you, pink t-shirt and biceps bigger than my thighs)

but you're okay, this year I'm probably not going to be selling, but i'm sure there will be others with lots of goodies for you.

Post by: meticulous on February 05, 2009, 06:24 PM: what!!! you not avin a plot this year.... you have time to change your mind... ;)
your right your stall was a sweet shop to me, and the cash was burning a hole in my pocket, think i only managed to buy 2 pairs of tyres off you thow.... :daumenhoch:

p.s... keep quiet about the pink t shirt, is wasnt my muscles that was bulging, it was the fact i had bought it from mother care...
