I sold the house and its time to move. The problem is that I am moving into a small apartment with no storage. I dont know If I should rent a place to put all my parts in or sell everything. Anyone interested in driving to Wisconsin for a truck load of bike parts?

The wife is the hard part, ask her if you can spend $1500 bucks for a shit load of parts.

I rent a storage unit right now because I moved out of my house a few years ago. The unit is big enough to probably hold ten road worthy running bikes or a few bikes and a ton of parts. I pay about $125/month for it. For the stuff you have you could get a much smaller storage unit if you decide to keep the stuff.

Rule #1. Don't tell the wife - It's easier to ask for forgivness than it is to ask for permission.

Sometimes...
I'd go for a storage unit if you can afford to do so. The time is takes to collect all those parts again is premium, plus, it's easier to keep that stuff than it is to get rid of and then get it all back again when it comes to the wife's approval process. Once you start giving up ground it's hard to get back. And right now the market is great for people with money and projects, but bad for people without money giving up thier projects. If you think you are going to be getting out of it, or focusing on one project that's really gonna pop, then take what you need and cash out on the rest. On the other hand, if you are moving into an apartment now you'll still need storage for it all anyway, even if it is just one project but, even without the project you'll probably need storage for other household stuff anyway. If that is the case you might as well keep what you need, sell the rest, and share the storage with the other stuff.

Time and patience for sure but I have run out of both! They are all 86-87 but no titles. I have one complete bike in primer that was driving before I took it apart for a "winter project" 2 years ago. I have a rolling frame with complete motor, another frame and 3/4 of a motor, a bare frame and several boxes of parts, all in average condition and body work that needs help.
