I've been there quite a few times over the years & actually got rid of my tools & given up rented garages several times. I decided a while ago that my current 2 projects will be my last. Not giving up on the scene, just want to get out & enjoy the vehicles I've got rather than constantly working on new ones. It's an age thing I think -several of my mates are thinning their project collections at the moment. Always welcome here Chris.  |

I often get like that as well Chris . I'm trying hard to thin my stuff down and , Like Andy , would love to just have a couple that meet my needs and not be forever building. Having said that I actually need to keep moving as my back gets worse if I do nothing  |

Same here. Next year I will probably be selling my bikes but can't imagine ever selling the trike. These days I can only work for an hour at a time but not doing anything makes things worse.
Take a long break from it all Chris and the enthusiasm may come back. Perhaps a project that takes less time, space and cash may be the way to go. I found motorcycles to be profitable (the trike was funded by bikes) and gave me something to do.

Getting older but no wiser! Just using bigger hammers.
The answer to most problems, fire and lots of it.

I must agree with Dave, I have usually managed to make sufficient profit from bikes/trikes etc. to at least fund the next "vision", and that's over quite a long lifetime, (to date  ), but like everyone, enthusiasm, interest, and direction comes and goes, and ain't that the way of things, so, sit out a spell, until driven back! often by boredom, to more of the same...

Keep your cool & just take their money Chris.
What they choose to do with your vision is up to them -never gonna be the same as yours, whatever the vehicle is.
