Definition of a retro biker[leave your own]

Dunno about definition but here is the Nicene Creed of retrobiking.
(apologies to the religious among you, but I came to the conclusion that the tenets of the Christian faith are more reasonable statements than most of these).

1) I believe I have the ability to fettle parts that weren't made to work together.
2) I believe can make worn out stuff work better than it used to.
3) I believe most doggedly that some things don't need to be improved upon, even the ones that do.
4) I believe that it is right to be proud of being an old fart.
5) I believe that I have too much time/space/money on my hands.
6) I believe in following the fashion that was in fashion when I was young enough to be interested in fashion. At least, in fashion.
7) I believe in the approval of my peers and have scant regard for that of the uninitiated.
8) I believe that more time should be spent fettling a bike than actually riding it.
9) I believe that it is right to do things the hard way, if possible.
10) I believe that the boundaries of good taste do not apply if they get in the way of a pipe dream.
 
Point of View

How about "Attention Seeker" :D Been to Dalby today with the GF on her two tone Fluo Pink GT Bravado, Musta been 500 bikers out on all sorts of bling modern stuff, who gets the most looks tho? Got sick of folks stopping to ask all about it, one poor guy nearly fell off trying to get stopped for a chat. Was going to get a Pinnacle I have tucked away done in the same- not so sure now tho?
