Now that is perfectly stated! And don't forget to tell your wife and kids you love them before you go riding.

PS There are always going to be those who 'collect' for less than pure reasons. Status, ego, pride, profit, keeping up with the Schmidts <G>, whatever. You can usually spot a poser. But we are all motivated by different facets of collecting...riding, admiring, researching, tinkering, restoring, etc. I personally don't hold anyone in contempt for having different values than I do... Enough said...this could easily turn into a "War and Peace" type post. <G>
