rhm, Ahhh, the eternal optimist, don't be a tease....I am counting on all of the forum members that have this pathology and want to share it, so get those coins and pipes out...if you insist put a few pics of the saddles in as long as we don't get the thread hijacked to looking at bike stuff (although nothing wrong with it!)

@jetboy beautiful Moto Morini and daughter. I will be getting another motorcycle once my move is over. I too will be looking for a small displacement v twin but a 2 stroke, a Suzuki RGV250, had one for years, they are just fantastic bikes and now my forum name suddenly makes sense. Since being in the US I have had GSXRs, TL1000Rs, GSX1100 Katana, CBR, ZXR, FZR, YZF I even went with a couple off dual purpose machines but none have matched the RGV for enjoyment.
I saw all the fine italian steel you had up for sale on CL: nice stuff and too bad. You pretty much should just do yourself the favor and keep the tomassini.. and give the pinarellos to me.

I used to have a lot of vinyl, mostly British Invasion, but sold it all. I only kept my complete collection of all the studio albums by the Kinks, both UK and US releases.... really should have let them go as well, but it took soooo long to collect them I just couldn't.
Tobacco pipes...
Greek coins....
Collecting is a pathology. Trust me, I know.

I think I collect bicycle spokes. For some reason I have a 30 gallon tote overflowing with them. Sizes ranging from 3"-12", someday I'm gonna organize them.

Ummm, would you believe my Mother... It's true. She was born in Gettysburg, PA - that might have something to do with it. She gave me the small ship's cannon, and one of the Napoleon fieldpieces. I located the second on at an area G u n shop. The one on the right is a repro of an L Francis Herreshoff 10Ga saluting cannon. The first three use loose black powder, the last a 10 GA blank. There's a few more, but they're the cream of the crop. As you might guess there's more than a few funny stories...

I have a bunch of old cameras, mostly 35mm but also a few TLR and medium format folders.. Like old bikes, everybody dumps them for the newer technology, even though they work as good now as they did back when. I have rarely paid more than $10, and that frequently gets a bag of accessory lenses with the deal.
I also have several slide rules. Last year, I took one into work to use during an plant shut down, and the young guys all laughed at first. When they saw how quick it was to multiply and divide, they wanted to learn more.

Yes indeed. Really nice, Peugeot Mongrel.
I don't collect these. But make them to sell. Leather awl hafts, to the leatherworkers who use a diamond shaped blade, for saddle type stitching. I don't make the chucks. For those I use Starrett pin vises.
For collections…where do I start?
