[QUOTE="Speedtwin, post: 159898, member: 5012"] I recently have had to carry out a clear out of my workshop and garage space to prepare for a upcoming house move later this year. I was shocked at the amount of parts and bits and pieces I have accumulated only over just the last seven years at this place. Having had a clear out of my old workshop back in around 2014 I thought it would not be to bad. I mean how much could a fella gather in seven years. Wrong. Recently my friends father who passed away just last week gave me a collection of Vincent parts he admitted to hoarding the parts for fifty years. Told me he never told anyone he had the stuff,"to much hassle" he said. This had made me realise I am heading in the same direction. Yes towards death,but more importantly I am a parts hoarder and getting quite secretive about it. Leads me to thinking, I bet that some of the people on the site have huge hoards of parts, anyone going to own up? Maybe a support group is needed? Al [/QUOTE]
