Seriously, why? Why bung up a perfectly good Dnepr, rare as they are?
Sell the Dnepr to someone who cares about such things, and fix up the
Shadow and ride it.

SQ can certainly speak for himself, but I suspect his answer will be
much along the same lines as:
Q. Why climb a mountain
A. Because it's there.

My advice is to follow Matthew 13:45-46.

Heh. Indeed. I thoroughly approve of this sort of daftness.

We all get our juices flowing from motorcycle ownership in different
ways. I don't understand Sean's motivation to add to his list of
unfinished projects, but he seems to be having fun. To suggest his way
of having fun is somehow of less value or importance than your way of
having fun strikes me as extremely arrogant. Leave him to his projects.
If nothing else reading about them is more entertaining than reading
about the love affair between Krusty and Neil.

Which is all that's really important. "JD" John caught mucho flack over
replacing original wheels and brakes on his old pre-1920 Harleys so he could
(gasp) ride them.
