I was very active on a Aborist/Chainsaw website for a while. I cut firewood for heat and needed to get a bit more knowledgable about chainsaws before I bought the wrong one. Just like this forum there were some people that knew a lot about chainsaws and were very helpful.....and each week new people showed up. They even had their own form of Oil Wars that kept showing up about what oil is best.....and what mix ratios to use.

The one thing that is different about this site is that unlike the Arborist Site where people got CAD (Chainsaw Acquisition Disorder) - this site doesn't seem to promote SAD (Savage Acquisition Disorder) or MAD (Motorcycle Acquisition Disorder). On the Arborist forum people would come to the site with only a single chainsaw.....and within a short period of time would expand their fleet to have several different brands and sizes of saws....and the forum member just kept enabling each other to buy more!

This site seems to be a lot more thrifty about having a single motorcycle, and the things needed to make it better looking or keep it running. Life is good!

Suffering from SAD and MAD as well as the very famous SEAD (single engine acquisition disorder) where I buy east german built, british designed, jap supplied single engine sport bikes ... MZ skorpion baby.

Cool.

I can't recall ever compiling a large collection of any one type, but I have always had a nice variety of toys.

ATM-
2 Kayaks
2 Surfboards
2 Snowboards
2 Rifles (ok more then 2, but 2 just seemed to fit nicely)
2 Handguns
2 Bikes, Savage and a Yamaha ttr-125
2 Cages Jeep Patriot and a Ford Edge
2 Timeshares in the Bahamas

Only one wife, but if I could have a second one that made the same salary as the first.......I'd have alot more toys!!!!! Grin

There are several on here who have health issues. I've basically been "down" in my back for nearly three months. I'm thankful for a good wife and daughter and my wife's support for me getting back into bikes after 30 yrs off. I used to fire on a steam locomotive I helped restore in the mid 80s. I think one of our major problems is that a lot of us older (59) guys are an independent bunch of old farts, and we miss that. Stay on here and keep sharp. Help these newbs enjoy their bikes with your knowledge. I just sold a 1976 XL 75 with fire but no start. (And didn't lose money) Now I'll have time to fool with my 1986 Honda Spree "project".

Speaking of health and motorcycles, I am running out of health but I still have a couple motorcycles and I plan to buy another and ride all I can for as long as I can. A neighbor has been riding all his life but has dropped his bike several times just moving it around the garage so he is planning on buying one of those three wheel CanAm "bikes". I am anxious to see how he likes it.

To me the two wheel experience is hard to beat. I loved my bicycle as a little kid and when I finally got a two wheels with a motor in between it just got better. The Savage is the heaviest bike I can handle now and it is marginal. Accumulating a few extra bikes (and tools) doesn't bother me, life is short, do what you want.
