Anyone else have this desease?
I have two spare engines and frame for one giro bike, one spare engine and frame for the other, three spare engines for the race bikes, about 8 spare cranks (even though I've never, ever seen a 175 crank fail), five spare heads, multitude of engine covers, cylinders and gear boxes etc.
I'll never use all this stuff...but I also know I'll probably never sell it till I sell the bikes.

Why am I thinking of this....cause I'm moving the 68 GTO in the shop for the winter....guess I'll get it back on the road in a couple of years.
For the winter I'll have two bikes in the house, two in the shop, one in the shed, three in the trailer.

Steve Ritzko of M&S Cycle has a Norton project bike that's he's got all apart and I would bet it'll be a long time before it goes back together again. He might part with it. 518 377 7980 He's also got a nice 66' Bonnie that runs good but has been sitting a garage for awhile and needs detailing, cables oiled, that kind of thing. It's actually in pretty nice shape. He'd let that go for somewhere around 4K'ish. If I had the money, it'd be mine.
