This a fascinating, but melancholy thread. How many of these bikes were once someone's pride and joy?

Brand in the showroom... Staring at it through the window... Signing the papers... The first Saturday morning ride...

All that excitement and enjoyment, now slowly sinking into the ground. Very sad.
