Have you considered the possibility that N+1 might be the healthy norm?

We all call it N+1 dare i say sickness. Im down to 2 bikes and just recently realized im there,im not thinking about just one more accessory or bike. Everything ive set up on these 2 right down to the type of bells, is perfect for me. My mind is at rest so to speak.

Im almost scared to ask. Id hate to be the only one with this new sickness. Maybe its old age setting in:eek:

Well, if I were to catch a dose of what you've got, I would have a lot more space in my garage to work.:D
Especially since I understand one of your bikes is a folder.

I think your right. Im waiting for intervention team that billydonn sent to show up.
Dan
Down to just my Brompton folder and the LHT. They each serve a purpose very well and i really dont need anything more, but i suppose if the right one jumped out at me or followed me home i might be persuaded to take it in.
Maybe there ought to be a vaccination for this,couple of guys who posted are pretty close to my original post description.

Intervention Yep! it's time for intervention. A new bicycle recovery N + 1 clinic has opened in Vermouth, Iowa the one that is featured with its own TV series. Insurance is required

N+1 is the result of a chemical compound emitted by the brain when desire(+) overrides (N)eed. The chemical compound replaces what was formerly testosterone but has the same result in that it overrides logic. (1) is the number of objects one can normally smuggle into the residence without spousal knowledge.
