Getting attached to bikes

[CaptainKyle]

Just wondering am I only one out there that does not really feel personally attached to any of my bikes ? While I do love my bikes & keep good maintenance on them I would sell any of them in a heartbeat or part them out if that is where the money is.

I guess I have parted out so many & bought & sold so many that there just another vehicle to me . I keep good insurance on them ( agreed value) in case something does happen to them . I guess maybe it might come down to me knowing how to build another if I want to & knowing there are always deals out there. :confused2:

I have to say I do get attached to most bikes and some vehicles, I sold my DT250 to buy a car in high school and still regret it to this day.:confused2:

I definately do, lol. Cant imagine life without either of my demanding mistresses. My car ive had since 1998, shes my first and only car ive ever owned. Got her when i was 16. Gonna be a sad day when i get rid of her (someday) for an 83-85 cutlass or a challenger. My max, id wanted one for years and when i finally got one i knew there was no way id give her up. Not to say that i wouldnt wheel n deal other bikes n cars though.

Kyle i'm the same way i think your right some people know another one can be customized the way they want it and cant wait to start.

I ve owned so many things, most means nothing. I do have one of my very first bikes a 1973 Honda that really doesn't mean much to me sentimental wise, but I always said I wouldnt get rid of it. I haven't ridden the bike in almost 20 years, we got it on the road last year, my son road it for a couple days and I threw a leg over it. It was so uninspiring that I parked it again LOL.

All my Vmax's were nothing special. Though they were nice and I customized almost everyone of them. My other bikes, same thing, never really meant much. My muscle cars , same, meant nothing.

I think it is the idea that owning so many, they become items. Its kinda sad. But I ve owned well over 150 bikes, and there are ones I would like to get, but realize I only want one because I haven't had one yet.

Cars, I always wanted a AC Cobra. I really would like to have one someday. But I don't lust after it. If it happens it happens.

On a side note, its been like that with women too. I always wanted a girl, I would get the girl and then get bored with her and move on to the next one. I don't think I ever had a girl in my life that I can look back and say I miss her. Each one had a role in my life whether good or bad, but none of them ever seemed to be the "one".

I am attached to my 85' I sold my first 85' to help fund my plumbing company and regretted selling so I am attached to this one until I can't physically ride no more . Now my 09' right price yep sold but it would have to be more then the going rate .

I feel like I'm really attached to my max, but that's probably because I've spent so much time fixing it up. I think if I'd bought it running and done some of the mods, but never had problems major work, it would be different. I really liked my monster, and will get another duc someday, but I think the max will probably stay. I hope end up with.

I tend to keep my 'current' bike for a good few years before changing it.
But same as Kyle....its just a bike.....its insured and I can build another if its stolen/crashed etc.

[Biker Dash]

I'm definitely attached to my Woona. If I could trade her in for a brand new ultimate whatever-bike... EENOPE! My Max stays with me... FOREVER!!!

Yes I thought that is what you were supposed to do. When there wore out throw them in the shed and get a new one they cost way to much to rebuild.lol

Just messing with you. Yep I'm pretty attached to mine, just because it's my first customized bike, but been thinking about doing another one.

OI know you were messing with me I am crazy not stupid Christine is not in the shed is she.:rofl_200::rofl_200::rofl_200:

 

[one2dmax]

I still have my very first bike AND my very first car. Won't be getting rid of them anytime soon though neither of which I have done much with in a number of years. I am parting out my current Vmax and will be putting some effort into getting my old bike going again (1983 Seca Turbo).

 

[tothemax93]

I think it depends how you hold onto your life experiences. Some people will get a tatto, pictures, maybe just move on. If your bike never really had a special "meaning" or memory, It's just a thing. If you connect a part of your life with it, it has a whole lot more meaning. I personally have a lot of great life experiences on my Vmax, So I'm attached. There's another max I know of, that I would love to buy. It's better in every way, but I would have to sell mine to afford it. I can't bring myself to do it.
