12 step program for bike-a-holics
 
This is a difficult time of year for many of us. Spring cleaning means many bikes will be heading for FBM, CL, tag sales and the curb. We sometimes realize we should be downsizing instead of collecting more, but find it difficult or impossible to do so. The temptations are too great. For other recovering bike-a-holics like myself I hope this post will be of some help. :)

#10 I should do more of these daily inventories just so I remember what’s in my parts hoard! Last time I pulled out all my racks to do an inventory. My wife happened to walk by. She just asked ‘are you nuts?’ And rolled her eyes and walked away.

Yyou best stay on good terms with her since she could likely have you certified. :twitchy:

Get what you like, try it out.
What doesn’t work out or ride as you’d hoped…get rid of.
Otherwise, N = (N + 1) - NCBTDWO*

Glad to provide further unlicensed, non-certified, still-better-than-Better Health, non-IRB approved, unscientific, completely non-factual therapy sessions to further healthy levels of acquisition and related goals within this community.

I took my wife to the Concourse at the Central Coast Classico and she had a great time listening to the owners talk about their bikes. Her favorite and her people’s choice choice was a Chromed Paramount. I’ve always wanted one and now it is more likely one will be added if one presents itself.

I think that’s how these steps work🤔
