[QUOTE="Rednaxs60, post: 187137, member: 4617"] Having a second bike same or very close to the one you ride all the time is a bonus depending on your situation. Here in BC Canada, I can insure two collector bikes for $600.00 a year, way cheaper than one newer bike at $1600.00. I was talking to the better half the other night and we talked about the second '85 LTD I am going to resurrect and drive out here this coming fall. She wanted to know why I wanted to have a second one on the road - answer was simple - so I would have a bike on the road at all times knowing that I will work on one or the other to do maintenance, upgrades, repairs, etc. Since it takes time to do the work, having a second one on the road is priceless. My father was always of the opinion that if you have a mortgage free vehicle in good shape body and mechanical wise, spending a $1000.00 a year to maintain and upkeep this vehicle was more cost effective than buying a new one. It is even difficult sometimes to spend a $1000.00 a year on your vehicle. I too think that Gerry should keep this second one, too much time and effort going into it. Once it is on the road, he can take the '82 out of service and dish the '82 up so it is sparkling. Everyone needs a project. Gerry has given me some good ideas from this thread. I'm going to plug an ultrasonic cleaner to my siblings so they can get me one for my birthday - I'll give them the specifics so I get what I want. Cheers [/QUOTE]
