"However, be careful. What I have found from previous accidents is that these accidents allow the very slow intrusion of thoughts about, alas, a new Tandem. Guard against it TandemGeek - you will never know when it strikes as it is extremely insidious and as slow moving as elderly drivers in Fort Myers"

I agree w/counselguy. I ascribe to the "broken windows theory" in almost every aspect of my life: If you allow your stuff (your bike, your car, your house, etc) to start to get beat up, pretty soon you will no longer "love it" like you did when you 1st acquired it. You then start to treat it badly and it goes downhill fast. You then find yourself drawn to the new shiny (expensive) thing. It's much better to fix things as they get dinged than to trash something & replace it with new.

I have never met TandemGeek but based on reading his posts, I doubt he trashes his stuff.
