That movie hooked me for sure.
Up until then we were racing Arctic Cat minibikes with hot-rodded Kawasaki engines.
After that it was a steady diet of Elsinores with a side order of Montesas, Huskies, and the odd Bultaco.
Fun stuff.
Wish I had kept a few of those beauties.

....and one of my all time favorites. A 250 Elsinore.

For me and other N+ types, here are some storage tips: bicycle collection.
The other side says, "That's a large number of bikes that won't be ridden by anyone."
I ride my bikes.

I still refuse to count the remaining bikes, at least until I am s u r e I am under 3 digits. Denial is not a river in Egypt.

I have not moved any more frames or bikes out since that post..................nor have I moved any in. Still whittling down the crankset and RD collections though.
I'm a month behind RH on this one. Just sold two more today, so I am N-22. Had a no show that has since rescheduled wanting 3 more, and another contact on a fourth bike. Just in time too, as the house goes on the market next week!

A few times I have accumulated 6+ bikes and each time I do I begin to feel a bit guilty. I think about how great my bikes are, how much I enjoy them but then think that it's more than I will be able to ride to justify having them. I feel guilt because there are others looking for a great bike but it's still in my garage. I think about the space, time and money and end up giving them away or selling them. Already this year I got up to 8 and have started scaling back. Two are keepers, I will let my son decide what to do with them. A third will likely end up being a keeper too. Unless they were really, truly special, I think five is the most I can keep without guilt.

I really really really want to pick up a decent, hopefully cheap 70s era Raleigh Super Course. That and a really nice mountain bike for over here in Cambodia. So if I found a Super Course and a mountain bike = +2. Give my Raleigh Grand Prix to my son and dump a few hybrid/Mt bikes here in Cambodia would be -3
So over all n-1

While I would love to have it here, it would go to my house in the States in Lancaster, PA. and would need a 23 1/2 incher.
