How Much Is Too Much

[Handle Bar Hoarder]

Who are you hurting? No one. Does it make you happy to find a cool bike, fix it up and find the correct parts to make it right? If the answer is yes, then keep on keeping on. Let your heirs worry about what to do with them after you are gone. I am new to this hobby, just stripped and rebuilt my first bike. I didn't get everything right, and I know I have a lot to learn. But I can honestly say, the time I have spent working on and polishing that bike is some of the most peaceful and relaxing time I have spent in a long time.

ya I like it and it give me some thing to do & they are cool looking

If it's not causing you financial distress and the storage and your
living arrangements are working for you then who cares.
As I tell my wife ....
in a hundred years I'll be dead, until then I'm going to have fun.

Oh yeah!
Total waste of time and money.

You're going to be pretty old in a hundred years, by then, it might not be as fun as you think it's going to be.

Many serious collectors choose to collect ladies bikes as well. Even better is when you have a girlfriend who's just as nuts about old bikes as I am

Yup,I just picked up a girls 1935 Ranger Crusader,I'll take the girls bikes and boys bikes.

how much is too much...... ive asked myself the same question many times the last few years. bikes are a great hobby but like a lot of other things it can become obsessive and addictive. if its not a problem in a relationship, its not destroyed your finances and you can still walk thru the house, your prob ok for now.......but keep an eye on it. the plus side it looks like you have a nice collection but sometimes less is more. i find myself buying just to be buying sometimes more than i should..........oh yea i forgot im divorced, broke, and i cant walk thru the house.....good luck
