The only collector I can think of that I really admire is Jay Leno. He actually rides his bikes and drives his cars. Too many collectors just collect and don't ride. Seems a shame to have those fantastic bikes and not ride them. Too much like having Rembrandt's and DaVinci's works and storing them in a blacked-out vault so they are safe.
Bikes/cars are meant to be ridden/driven!!
But I could see owning a F4U Corsair and never flying it. LOL Somebody would have to, but not me!!
I store mine in a dark room when I'm not showing them to some one. Light is not good for them. The one that are not ridding much will bring 3 or 4 times as much as one ran by some one who dosen't care for them much.
