If you're just a flash in the pan type of speculator, you'll probably burnout pretty quick, becuase you'll realize that old bikes are not a very good get rich quick scheme.
You'll end up leaving the hobby with everybody hating you, because you probably destoryed a bunch of pretty good original bikes and you've burned a lot of bridges along the way.
But, if you're in it for the long haul, then relax,have fun, and plug into the community and enjoy the ride. You'll make a bunch of friends, and before you know it, your garage will be stuft with old bikes and parts that will envelope your entire life.
Figure out which guy you want to be, and hopfully, we'll see you at the next ride.
