i think i'm just enjoying this partly as a mechanical hobby (used to be an aircraft mechanic in the air force and i like to tinker), partly to try finding the ride(s) that get me twitterpated to enjoy for awhile, then when i hanker some something different, sell for at least some return on the $$ spent, and the enjoyment of a bit of machinery that i recovered and rebuilt into something useable and cool. and maybe a bit of tweaking my non conformist nose to the cookie cutter flat black legion of Specialized and Trek carbon that dominates the roadways around here.
