I was fettling today, mostly stripping and re-building the zaskar, but I needed to do a little work to the Prestige and as I worked, I realised that I have no desire whatsoever to ride it!
The Zas is my workhorse, I love it, its damn near bomb-proof, handles like its on rails and does everything well. 8 time out of 10, I'll pick it when going riding.
The Orange however is there for the memories, its in great condition, has a dura ace rear mech which probably won't shift that well, a white saddle which should never get dirty and never gets ridden... And thats how i want it to stay. I own a garage queen!
It was a shock, the realisation that I've made the transition from 'rider' to 'collector', but I've done it and I'm actually quite happy about it.
