You should start buying bikes that need a bit of work. That way you can get dirty, fix them up and sell them on for a bit of a mark up. They don't have to be falling apart, just a little rough and needing a clean and a tidy. That way you can keep the bike buying addiction going, buy lots of different bikes, ride them all and sell the ones you don't want to keep. Wish I had the space you had, it's what I'd be doing in my spare time (and I'd probably get divorced for it...)

I know a bloke who did that with cars. He got a stroppy letter from the DVLA telling him he'd have to register as a dealer if he continued :haha:

I guess its too late now eh, Jacko. I would beg/borrow to raise up some money to buy this if I had the space to keep it... I barely have the time ride and fiddle around on one bike as much as I like... And I am currently single... I can't imagine how you blokes with wives and girlfriends manage... I guess its probably because you want to get some time away from the "always better half" as much as possible. lol

You missed out one big factor, krisv - KIDS! The missus is great - she ordered me to get the strom (or some kind of motorcycle) a week after I sold my last bike because of my knackered back. She could tell that being bikeless would somehow wither me (no, not that way - at least, I don't think so... :shock: )
