yep!
I once had a prominent classic bike person commenting on my bike and something of little note I'd done (tank sticker!) - essentially I shouldn't have done that because of blah. I suggested that as it was my bike I could actually do what I cared. The look on the face was classic as I doubt anyone had every said anything like that too him usually going "yes sir, I'll fix it!"
Most of my old bikes are not rivet counter perfect by any stretch (they do fit the rules of the class I'm racing in) and usually have some cool period mods, or smaller less of an issue stuff that makes it nicer to ride.
