Really. Really I don't.
Why does craigslist tempt us so?
It makes it even worse when the seller emails you and drops the price $200 for expressing interest before you even look at them.

Not "it", but rather, "them".
Trying to get out of "accumulate" and into "refurbish" mode myself. One of the few nice things about having multiple projects is while you're waiting on parts for one, you can make some headway on another one.
Besides, I suspect you wanted a "real" project and the Primavera "hobby kit" wasn't challenging enough.

At what point does a hobby become an addiction? I'm uncertain, but after the twelfth scooter, it sorta feels like the latter...
Seriously...I've lost count...

I look on Craigslist occasionally, then regret it. Last one I missed was an '84 Yamaha Salient (Riva 50).
Last one I got, the '03 Zuma, was the result of months of talk with my barber. I was simply gonna fix it for him...

Same number I was at. I actually kept my New Year's resolution and sold two before buying one.irishtim wrote:I've had as many as 9. Now I make myself sell/trade at least one before acquiring another.
