Correct; thankfully never. And all of my bikes are insured.
I get it, bikes are tools for you. I'm not saying to buy the fancy thing because it's fancy, I'm saying if it builds desire to ride, then that's a good enough reason.
Shiny doesn't have to mean delicate. My AC Macho Man is steel and four years old. I've thrashed the shit out of it in that time, it still has a wicked -subtle- paint job (nowhere near pristine) and some nice looking (well priced) parts. I'm not saying it's pr0n but I like how it looks and it makes me want to go skid through some mud, fuck around in the woods and do adventures.
