The best way to display a bike, is to ride it for all The World to see.

This is an ancient thread. What ever happened to old ' gooseneck" ? I wonder if he ever found his place in the world of collecting. As old as this thread is he is probably only collecting SSI benefits now...

 
Geez. You guys are like a pack of wolves. Did anyone read my posts? Most of you had nice responses. But I never said he was an idiot for collecting bikes. I was just trying to see why he felt why his bikes were so precious. I said some looked cool. But he talked so much about them, it took away from how cool they were. My sister said he goes overboard with it. He's like a hoarder. But she takes the good with the bad. But some of your responses were condescending. I never said I collected pez dispensors. someone said that I said I did. I never said that. Do you guys even read? I didn't say you collectors were juvenile. I said some of the comments I've seen on here seem juvenile. You say there is no drama on this site. Well just by reading the responses to my question, I can see there is different trains of thought regarding this bike collecting. different trains of thought leads to drama. Fleetwood, you were very condescending. I am a good brother. always supported my sister. She's not escaping anything. I am not jealous of my brother in law. at all. I just wanted to know why his attitude is the way it is. And it's a specific attitude he has about his bikes. I see some of you share the same attitude as him. I can tell. Must feel good to make others feel stupid.
Your tone is why you are getting the response you are .

Gee….. even the title of your post “

You guys need to explain something to me.“​


Demanding that we “ need” to explain anything to you.

Maybe try asking and using a different tone next time.
 
I was barely a spark in my used parts dealers eye when this thread was started, but by now, that I've grown into the obsessive pia I am now, I know the answer to his ill fated question.

Those who have no interest in what folks might call a hobby are further back on the evolutionary scale. Whether it's dog shows, cars, bikes, electronics, art... whatever, us folks focus and gather information. We are "can-doers". These things we obsess on place us in the middle of ancillary areas to where we also know about things on the edge and surrounding fields.
Hard to tell sometimes, but we are smarter. And rarely back away from a challenge.
Those that don't have our affliction muddle through their lives hating their jobs and having to pay other people like us to do things for them. They plan their next smile and eat cold, expensive food delivered to their door.

Hobby's are important to developing a complete psyche. Those that have no Hobby's or interests past money and power are dolts that pander and scheme.... While we fix their stuff and come up with better mouse traps.
Our esteemed OP has either figured that out by now or is probably an influencer for a vegetable butter brand on YouTube while scheming for money to brighten his teeth.

This is actually a "End in site" issue. Nothing on the Internet is a hobby or can really teach skill or focus worthwhile. Try learning to swim, skydive or weld on the internet. Several generations are being wasted right now.

Tore his sack? ...As if he had a sack to tear.
Sack up, Get a hobby.
