I've been paring down my "collection" as my body refuses to conform.  Dirt bikes are giving way to dual sports and road bikes, though I've always had both. regrets I'm having a bunch right now.  Should I sell my CZ Falta Replica because I can't handle the suspension?  Should I sell my Ducati Monster because my knee won't bend that tight?  What about my Maico 400 that I can't kickstart??  Time waits for no one...

If we sell all our unused motorcycles, there will be far less barn finds for future rider to covet.

Take a photo, make a poster and hang it on the wall.  Sell the bike if it is just sitting there and give some one else the opportunity to make memories.
I am in the camp that motorsports equipment is made to "bend the needles, feel the heat."  If I don't use 'em, they are gone.  I am also
approaching an age that the empty space created by selling equipment is more valuable than it being occupied by something that isn't being used.
