Just got Email from a chap in Nigeria that I have a packet waiting for me w ith $8million in it! SO I will NO longer have to sell all my bikes WHOOPEE!
   (Maybe Obama gave him my name). I have had more Emails from list members a sking WHY I am selling my bikes and odds and sods.THAN anyone EVEN remotely
   interested in buying.?? Times are tough I guess.??? OR Like many others I have an overinflated estimate of the VALUE of the bikes we so love to colle ct.?I have allways thought that this hobby was just that a hobby NOT a mone y making project. Have any of you ever stopped to count up all the hours an d $$$ that you have spent on BIKES? No way you can?EVER recover this. Love for the bikes and for me the old days of my youth the?competition, the chal lenge of building a bike better than my mates, leaving him on a steep climb , beating him in a 25mileTT, getting the BONK, twiddling my legs off. finis hing a ride clapped out, but feeling GOOD about myself, So ALL the time and
   $$ spent, WELL WORTH IT! I am glad?I?have NOT sold a bloody thing I am goi ng to ride every bike, look for ways to better the bikes to beat my mates. Who cares about the $ ANIT LIFE GRAND! Cheers John Crump Oldfeelingyoungern owBrit. Parker. Co USA? P.S. See you at LeCirque in June
