Enthusiast, Anorak, or hoarder?

So a little time on my hands while sorting out some paperwork and I now have the receipts for everything I have spent on my Monster in year order.

That's eighteen years worth where I can add up (I haven't done) how much it has cost me year by year to own- obviously the last few have cost most as I have been refreshing so many parts as twenty one years take their toll, but you get the idea.

I also have the original sales receipt from when my mate bought it new at the end of 1997, all the sales brochures and handbooks etc. etc.

Along with the paperwork I also have every original part, light lenses, screws, various pipes, shock absorber and exhausts that have been changed in the name of modification or improvement and everything is reversible to put the bike back to standard.

I’d go with Archivist......nothing odd about that at all.

Sorry mate if it hasn't got the proper service book with all the dealer stamps up to date, I'm not interested.
