What wrong with sitting by your computer, talking about them, collecting (hoarding) them, spending all your hard earned cash (from sitting next to a computer) on bikes that dont get ridden and probably will never get to see a sprinkling of mud?


















U may have a point actually.

This post also is in no way intended as a slur against those that do spend a disporportionate amount of time sat in front of a PC discussing old bikes and collecting bikes rather than riding them, its cool to remember the past, but don't forget to be excited about the future.)



LOL - I've never as much a part of a disclaimer as i do right now, ha ha.

:D

What about people who, seeing your sling shot, ask you "you're not gonna ride that are you" or "why did you repair that frame, just buy a new one.."

I liked Farmer John's because they were basically my name but backwards. But I never had any cousins, so i didn't buy any of them.
