Use your disadvantage (lack of work) to your advantage (been there, done that). Be resourceful, find deals and turn them, build your own bike fund. The ability to buy and sell deals in the middle of the day when most people are stuck at a J O B can be a sizable advantage.

I find sellable stuff every day, you can too, once you get a knack for spotting them and pounce!

A lesson I learned from Miami Jim many years ago: "Let bikes pay for bikes".
