Mr Red, like Firko said, having bikes around is great therapy. I've danced with the reaper a few times and each time I thought that all my fun times were over. It has always been bikes that kept me sane and determined to get well again. Once they're in your blood, ya can't live without them, however that may be. Even just going to shows or a wander to the race track to watch, listen and smell is good for the soul when times are bad. Just recently I've been "stuck" in a vicious circle BUT being able to get in the shed and tinker with my bikes has kept me "entertained" and my mind busy on things other than my health problems. Hang in there mate, you're a long time dead.....

Red, you could keep a few and play ride, maybe something like ISDT reunion, which I'm doing next year. Who would have thought I'd ever love a Husqvarna and compete away from the mx track?  Had more challenges with kids past few years, but they always love a track day, getting bikes going for them. Take care of your health, and stress level too. I have a t shirt with that on it, you never see a motorcycle parked outside a psychiatrist office.

Red I know it may not be wise to trust someone that says "Trust Me" but um Trust Me as I have or moreover are.. now and then... on the not so flash health side of things.
All I wish to pass on to you is I too have kept a small core of the biggest personal smile bringing and tinker time bikes. Found not only does it make the old body sit up and feel strong, it also greatly assists trap and keep caged a truly insidious soul destroying killer, the black dog of depression that latches on to your back.  Tim754 ;)

Brad,

You make me sound like a Filipino Bar-Girl.  ;D

Great working with you too!  I posted in another thread, but I might have an extra Phantom tank, if you need it.
And he love you long time…
About that phantom tank. Price and condition please.
