If I could drop several thousand bucks on bikes I'd do it in a heartbeat, just to be able to jump on the pedals and see what I could get said bikes to do for me.
Well said TJ. All the 2 wheelers in my stable are gems of varying degrees. I won't do without them (although I did sell one to Keith last year) and I take turns riding them because they're all great bikes, the shiney ones with no scratches and the ones I beat the bejesus out of daily. The newest one is a fun bike - got it last week - Specialized single speed. Wow, like a kid again!
