    I don't think id hack up an old bike if it was original, but something that's already been buggered about with no problem, probably no structural mods so someone who had the right bits could take it back to original later if it was worth the bother.

    Mass produced things only become valuable when the numbers decrease enough that supply is reduced, and they gain rarity value. In this respect i have made my contribution to the current value of ford cortinas by either crashing or wrecking them for parts over the years
    Riding cheap crappy old bikes badly since 1987

    Chop it, fuck with it, do whatever.

    Ownership by it's very definition means no one else can tell you what you can not do to it. Mate of a mate got a matching numbers GT500 Mustang. The real deal. Now it's blown with a huge hole in the bonnet and will torch the bags through the whole gearbox. Asked why he did it. "It's mine, I'll do whatever the fuck I want with it".

    Yep. Got heaps of grief at car meetings for it, from what I understand.
