OK, this resonates with me!
I was loaning a vintage bike to a neighbor to ride Eroica and whenever I take someone into my garage there is the inevitable wow factor of restored bikes, frames (in the queue for restoration), wheelsets/tires/tubes, hanging from every conceivable nook and cranny. And what is not immediately obvious are the boxes, cabinets, and dressers full of sorted parts. The other main function of my garage is to store bookcases full of sci-fi. So anyway, I turned to her and said with a laugh, "yeah, and my house is full of guitars."
And btw, I find guitars and bikes similar in the sense that as you ride/play and learn more, you go through an evolution of machines to find out what works and fits best.
