Are you a hoarder? - SV650.org

Do you still have bits for bikes you owned years ago?

My loft is full of strange bits and pieces...........

A Harley Sportster tank and front wheel.

A Billet front brake for a Harley

A Remus can for a ZRX1100

Bagster tank cover for a Triumph Sprint

Bagster tank cover for a BMW R1100S

Couple of Scottoilers

And loads more.................I'm surprised the ceiling doesn't collapse.

So what..................if anything.............are you hoarding?

I actually own 9 bikes at the mo (if you include my 2 minimotos) so it is safe to say I am a bike mad (perhaps just mad?!?!

) and have got bike bits everywhere!!

Most people have a sun lounger in their conservatory … I have 2 bikes and some shelves with all manner of bike parts, from indicators to engines … most of the stuff I haven’t used in years and if I am honest will probably never use again … but I can’t bring myself to get rid of it … you never know I might need that broken MTX50 piston, or the CB125J fuel cap one day … yeah right!!

Nothing gets thrown out at mine, at least not for years. Not just bike bits either. But stuff of actual value tend sto get chucked on Ebay- it's just the worthless tat I keep

I'm Definately a hoarder!

- Still got my old panels for my 50cc supermoto
- Standard can for my svsk3
- Standard Can for my RR
- Odd bits for my mini moto
- 4/5 sets of used spare knee sliders
- The list goes on....

I keep them all thinking i'm going to use them again but then when i want to i never can find them

I seem to acumilate others peoples bike bits.

In my garage i currently have

A very dirty scraped up set of Lowers for a Curvey SV
A front brake disc
An end can of of a K4 SV
An original curvey undertray
An iridioum screen (Tab broken)
Original set of Brake hoses with splitter
My original exhaust
Some cobwebs
probably many wee beasties

I must get round to either taking back to, or selling the various bits.

Errrrrr no, garage, garden or house, if it hasn't been used for six months it can't be needed so it goes.

03-03-06, 12:27 PM

Ohh... Scottoilers are they complete....?

03-03-06, 12:57 PM

I had a load of bits, including a harley evo carb and shocks but they've gone now. I still have some parts from my SV, including brand new JMV bellypan for K4 (unpainted) and a scorpion can (but no link pipe). Also have some motrax led indicators (+resistors), which I don't need. Open to offers if anyone's interested.
