Hi,
Old bikes do cost money but, unlike new ones, they don't depreciate when the next model is released.
They don't deteriorate before your eyes, like boats do, either.
I did read of a bloke who's greatest fear was that when he died, his wife would sell all his bikes, and
when she did, she would finally realise how much more money he had been spending, than he ever told her he had.
See you at the races, Daryl.
