Good question Angel. The continuity of our hobby. I have not given much thought as to what should happen to the "stuff" in the basement since my daughters and wife would not see the value in keeping my stuff around. There may be a bike or two that I would want to not see go off to ebay land but the fact is, when I'm gone, my wife can take my stuff and turn it into an F430 for all I care.
