Unless you are planning to put the bike under glass a "restored bike" will
become a used bike as soon as you start riding it after resto. After I
"rebuilt" my 69 Ambo I had hoped to keep her in the condition that she was
in after returning to service. After 10+ rallies and thousands of miles she
is still looking great but I have given up the though of having her stay as
pristine as when she was first finished. I'm ok with that because these
bikes should be ridden.
Of course if you are lucky like I am you will have 4 bikes. One is for trips
(69 Ambo), one is my baby (70 Ambo), one is for grinding to and from work
(White Eldo) and one project bike.
I'm still looking for another :-)
