I REMEMBER MY MOM AND HOW INFURIATED SHE’D GET WITH MY DAD FOR GOING OUT COLLECTING WHAT SHE DEEMED “JUNK”, AND BRINGING IT BACK HOME, SHE WAS METICULOUS ABOUT HER HOUSE BEING CLEAN AND MY DAD WAS HELL BENT ON MESSIN IT UP! AFTER SHE PASSED, I’D COME OVER , AND THERE WOULD BE A MINI BIKE, A 327 ENGINE, 3 OR 4 VACUUM CLEANERS, NONE OF’EM WORKED, ID BE LIKE, IF HE HAPPY WITH ALL THAT SHIT, FUCK IT!! HE WORKED HARD HIS WHOLE LIFE, IF HE WANTS TO HAVE A YARD SALE IN HIS LIVING ROOM, FUCK IT!, I THOUGHT HE WAS CRAZY ANYWAY, NOW FLASH FORWARD, IM THE OLD MAN, AND I COLLECT SHIT ALL THE TIME! MS BEA IS CONSTANTLY ON ME ABOUT NOT BRINGING ANOTHER BIKE INSIDE, I HAVE ABOUT 50 BIKES, WHY???? I TELL MYSELF BECAUSE I COULDN’T AFFORD THEM AS A KID, AT LEAST NOT A NEW ONE, WE’D PIECE TOGETHER A BIKE FROM LEFT OVER PARTS, BUT NOT A NEW ONE, TRUTH IS, I’M MORE LIKE BUDDY FLETCHER THAN I CARE TO ADMIT, I LIKE THIS OL SHIT, AND SURROUNDING MYSELF WITH IT, IT MAKES ME HAPPY!!️ I HAVE A PAGE DEDICATED TO MY LOVE FOR OLD BIKES @ct_fletchers_bike_addicts IF YOU LOVE’EM TOO, CHECK IT OUT!
