I'm goign to build a chopper! Researched the cheapest way to do, not thinking that this would be the one that required he most skill!!! So I bought a 1971 Honda CB750 1971 from some dodgy bikers, pulled it appart by the grace of god I got it back together put it on ebay and sold it didn't "loose" anything but my time and some of my pride. There are times though when I catch myself thinking maybe you should get another that didn't turn out so badly. I did a fairly similar thing. I’m goign to build a chopper!

I have been guilty myself of much smaller endeavors that just didn't make sense. I was a collector of things for quite a while, sports cards, action figures, statues, all sorts of things. For me, the point of having a collection was to obtain EVERYTHING. Once i became bored, or maybe realized i couldn't afford to get everything (i am a completionist), i ended up selling the rest of my collection for a fraction of what i paid. That was certainly the old Brian though. Glad to have you participate man. Congrats again about killing that mountain of debt. Paul, this is a great story.
