Question
Can I ask a question???????
As your aware Im new to the forum and what Ive noticed is there seems to be two schools of thought. 1. The guys who have bikes that a cleaner that they came out of the shop and that are kept on the mantelpiece. 2. The other guys who just ride the ass of their bikes. Am I just reading this wrong? Your views please.

fair comment Rob, however most folk, even those with loads of garage queens, seem to ride to some extent- even if it is on more modern bikes. I started out as a rider but have been drawn to the dark side of NOS :twisted:

MacRetro Rider
That sums it up perfectly RobMac, I'm the latter, bikes are for riding not polishing, others beg to differ :roll:

no Rob it is kind of wrong but that is what's so good about it
mind you I don't buy into the ethos that if you collect functional things you must use them- you can cherish great artworks and no-one cares if you keep it preserved as it was originally. Beautiful functional things can be admired and collected and I consider them as art, after all "all art is useless" to paraphrase a intelligent fella.

:shock: HEAVEEEEEE
Stranger than that, there are those who belong to both schools of thought.
I'm pretty sure if you search, you'll find several threads in chat - no surprise that this topic comes up every so often. I'm definitely not the best placed to comment, but I prefer riding and I'm not a big fan of ornaments. I can see why folks do the whole 'garage queen' thing, but it's not for me.
And to think I will never see Gazz's lovely Fat Chance without the aid of a computer And it is lovely btw, I think I may actually prefer it to the Yo.
