    much the same in europe,its just a age thing,most members are old or getting old and are from a time when we all used our own tools to maintain our old bikes,if you can no longer do that due to illness or injury,it takes a lot of the fun out of it. if we pass away with a garage full of bikes family are left with the headache of selling as is to the usual beggars when they have no idea what their worth,better to get rid of them before you shuffle off .
