how do you lot make up your minds......

[harris]

collecting ,keeping certain bikes ,selling they others..
if you have say 20 complete 30 not complete,but most have about the same meaning to you
what do you let go as you like most about the same.
also old and mid school  ,im thinning out but how many stay     3 of each model or 3 era in total   im struggling
need advice.

When you find out Dan, LMK

I'm having this problem at the mo, I think you just have to be roofless 

[harris]

im scared to be too roofless as i think i will regret something   

[dj_benice]

If you just need the space and not the cash I will provide storage for the odd looptail ripper etc  Snowboarding and the bank make all my decisions, ripper is bike I swore would never let go but needs must as the devil drives etc etc  You could always have a vote, be nice just to see the full harris stable ps dib dob's on owt I may fancy

[mark 2]

How many times have you asked this question Dan and not done anything about it.......

More backbone!


Got doubles of anything? Start with that.

Anything a compromise or a lesser model  of a particualr brand you've got the better one of? They can go. 

Started a build and lost interest before you finished? They can go.

Anything common as arseholes?

Start with the easy choices, you'll soon get on a roll and start to appreciate the space, it gets easier when a few go and you'll sell all sorts of stuff you've  hung on to " just incase"...

Just try and have an elite rather than best and second best and third best......

[harris]

i have sold a few mark ,and now still undecided on the next lot.
believe you me i have tried but still stuck fffsss

[QUADROPHENIA]

ffs... 20 - 30 bikes      i got 10 and think thats to many

[dct]

i sold all of mine last year - kept two only - a bike i had as a kid and another i thought was the prettiest not neccesarily the best  

not missing them yet

danny

[harris]

mine look a mess, i have put a fare bit in the loft ,so might fit it out like radman and keep the finished ones up top
out of the way of the spanners.then it  might not annoy me so much.i bang my head alot on stuff or trip over one.

[QUADROPHENIA]

ffs...how much shit dan 

[harris]

and that aint it all pete ,needs a good clear out as im getting fed up banging into it all.

[perry]

got my eye on the challenger 

to put it into perspective it takes up no more room than my 2 cars 

pick out the completes you want to look at , same with the parts and strip the rest down and put it away . that way you eliviate the mental burdon of having to look at so much stuff without going so far as getting rid of it all and a week later looking around for something and then thinking " ah i used to have that "

[Lazarou]

I really feel for you Dan.....





Mid school is on the way up buddy boy! You could have the mid equivalent of the Haney collection!

...and it would be in the UK!

...it's your duty!!


You could work on some kind of layout like he has.....

[harris]

hmmmm now you got me thinking..
i could do a mid type museum in the loft i guess, not complete but they are hard to find.

[bodamus]

Dan I think you have a problem mate

I have sold loads of bikes and parts over the years and haven't regretted anything yet. I think I could live with just keeping 2 bikes if it came to it.

bodamus

[harris]

just 2 ian   

i do need a kuwi but none about as you own them all   

[pickle]

Dan i think if you don't actually need to get shot of stuff (ie: skint and need the dosh or space) then i'd keep it all!  i could just spend hours in that shed of yours just looking at stuff!   

[MartyC]

A difficult one Dan, luckily I don't quite have the same scale of problem as you but what I decided was to really go for the bikes that mean something to me.  My Scorpion being a replica of my first bmx bike, my 85 Haro Master the last bmx bike I had (although I did switch back to my Freestyler after I sold the Master), the others are all bikes I would have liked to have owned except the Hoffman which I just really like and is a bike from when I was busy riding road and mountainbikes.  The only bike I would consider getting now is another Haro Freestyler and maybe clear one of the others to make room although never say never!!!

[jT Racing]

easy dan, think of the 5 bikes you would grab in a fire and fook the rest off. that's what i did and i'm sticking to it, no thinking, that will only mess with your head.

[Rombloke]

pete the feet you fookin liar...you aint got ten bikes....more like twenty

Dave

[harris]

dave ,i would even guess at 30 the fookin liar   

[QUADROPHENIA]

pete the feet you fookin liar...you aint got ten bikes....more like twenty

Dave

just had a look and there aint nowhere near that amount david

[poolysheriff]

Thinning out 

Letting stuff go 

 

Dan keep having extensions built or move 

I like the whole bike shop in a garage thing 

So much so i,m copying you 

Gary..

[jackel]
