Here is the scary part...I'm still looking for more, I hit the thrift every week, I go to all the flea markets, I have a wish list thats probably another eight to ten frames.
Am I insane? Is it a side effect from my years of sloth and devotion to a sedentairy life? (I used to collect empty pizza boxes
). I suppose I'm obsessive compulsive... I'll neglect the oil change in the Jeep to buy parts.. It's a good thing I don't have kids I guess.
Medication induced ranting mode off...
Not having kids is a factor.
I suffer from the same affliction but applied to Cadillac cars (4)
Canon film Cameras (30+)
Morgan and Peace dollar coins (300+)
While my wife has it for
movies
star wars figures (which I'm going to SELL)
Farscape whatever (which I call fartscape)
JAG (dvds and cards)
My ***** definately costs more money though...
But I only have one bike - the Professional - which I've had longer than nearly anything i own, although i did recently do a large Super Record upgrade and have lots of Nuovo record parts lying around...
Bikes take up a lot of room, that's a factor. Sure the cars are big, but we use them all the time. (and I know guys with 15 or more cars).
