    Drove to Quebec Today to drop off a trike and some parts .. Once I got there made the deal and was putting the trike away in the barn, I seen a strange back wheel sticking out from under a tarp covered in dust and coon sh@*T... Just had to look!!!

    No I have never been one for saving things. I sold hundreds of my trophies,gave away all my riding stuff,3wheelers,motorcycles ect. ect. Even now once I do a magazine project bike I sell it soon after. Yes I do have some regrets, but can't do anything about it now.

    You cant take it with you when you die, so i dont blame you.
    Take the cash and spend it on something else that makes you happy.

    I'm just glad I got my Team Honda 200x back. This was one of those regrets.
