It makes one wonder what someone ,like myself with 20+ bikes and plans
for more, is really looking for. But lets call it what it is: indulgence. Sure,
I can justify to myself that's it's part of who I am, and I don't have a car
to support, but that's just cover. I just like the process. Planning a project,
tracking down the parts, finding the unfindable, it's all great fun. It can get
out of control, and sometimes it takes over when I spend too much time
on Ebay, on top of all the time I spend here, but I don't have a wife and kids
looking over my shoulder. So maybe it's a substitute for something else?
Who knows.
Riding and collecting have always been two seperate passions for me. I'll ride
anything, if that's what there is. Collecting is something else. There is a desire
to 'own' or 'steward' things, as opposed to just know about them, have a
catalogue with their picture, for some reason isn't enough. But yes, it can
be too much. I guess it's all about keeping the proper balance.
