Wore out three sets of tires already!
Imho this happens with everything, bikes, cars, furniture, everything. It's disgraceful to take anything old, nice, restorable and destroy it when a collector could enjoy it as is or restore it properly.
Case in point. I have a friend in the moving business. He gets a call from a woman, twentysomething who inherited her grandparents home. It was filled with family treasures that she did not want. My friend backs his large box truck around to the basement door and hears boom-boom-boom! This @%$÷#@ is throwing stuff down the basement steps!!!! Gorgeous furniture, etc., smashed to bits.
My friend shows me the stuff...whats left of a 200 year old grandfather clock, stuff you can't imagine. He was headed to the dump. One thing he gave me I salvaged, repaired was a Chippendale chest of drawers. Inlaid wood...its in one of our bedrooms, it's gorgeous.
As I told him...if she had called me, I would have gladly paid her $5-$10,000 for all that stuff.
Bottom line, people should think before modifying an antique car, bike, anything. It's probably worth more as is and with that money buy something in bad shape, missing parts, etc. Then it doesn't matter and TWO people are happy in the end![emoji3]
