I look at my sales threads and think fcuk it may as well chuck it in the bin it costs me money to keep stuff thats not worth keeping. I could let it go for karma but that still means having to give it my time to list it, pack it and post it and anti nobody got time for that sh1t. Bikes sitting in a lock up not been ridden for 5 years again costing me money.
I used to get some retro rides going, but when no-one was interested in the last one I lost heart and couldn't be arsed to do it again. I used to look forward to MM and L'eroica Britannia but they have fallen by the wayside, the lack of retro events also has an impact on the hobby, being in cumbria its at least a 3hr drive to get anywhere and I'm too bloody old to get up a 5 in the morning to go and ride a retro bike somewhere. I've got 2 bikes to build and I'll eventually get round to doing them and I'll do a build thread for them I don't have to look for the parts as I have them already just need to get them painted and built. The older I get the more important time is to me I can't take the coin with me and I'm sure as hell I don't want to be buried with a ton of scrap bicycle parts.
So is it dying out ? for some of us yes it is, I get home from work have my dinner walk the dogs then watch you tube and got to bed, rinse and repeat. The world is getting so fcuked up I couldn't give a toss if it ended tomorrow as long as I'm with my dogs when it happens I'll die happy.
So yeah thats the other side to the story...
(thanks everyone)
