Widower. When my wife was alive you can be sure there was none of it in the house!Mr. Marsh, are you married? My wife has a passive-aggressive way of discouraging hoarding. She mixes camping gear, old ski boots, and bicycle gear in amongst the Triumph air cleaners, brake rotors and such, which disrupts my organization system. I do have a drawer that is just old MKIII starter parts and another with springs of different rates that I no longer know what they go to or the color codes, and another with BMW electrics, much of which I can no longer identify, then there are engine plates to ?, mirrors, levers, cables, peices of 530 chain, bars for British and European bikes, some crash bars, a complete 19" commando wheel and drum brake assembly, many far out-dated tires, some NOS some just abandoned for a better tread pattern, it goes on and on like that. I deliberately hoard spark plugs because NAPA no longer stocks (even in the warehouse) such once common things as BP7ES or AC 42 or Champion J6J. What if I die before she does? She has no idea what most of it is. The bikes she has a pretty good handle on but there's a limited number of them.
