I don't have any place in my life for rare. When the military moved us to Glendale we went from a 2 car garage (that was messy) to a 1 car garage (that is meticulous but tiny). My bikes and a trailer fit in there, but that is about it. If I owned a collecter's item bike, it would get hit by a skateboard or knocked over on the way to the deep freeze. Since the bikes I own now are just for riding at the track or daily drivers, that is the way I treat them.

Come to think of it, that is the way I would treat a rare bike too. I wouldn't be able to stand not riding it, so I would pour on the miles and the rock chips and bug splatters and grime. Another good reason I can't own something expensive.
