Hello group- I am soliciting advice. All opinions welcome, from 'you're #$%&ing crazy' to 'welcome brethren' Here's my situation: Currently I own an '85 Weekender. Usual assortment of problems/joys. I will be selling my 850 Norton Commando due to a longing to keep my skull intact for my family (2 young kids, fun wife etc.). I am contemplating turning the money from the Norton over into an AIRCOOLED mid 70's camper while still retaining the '85 for day-today use. The aircooled would be a long-term fixup project (something to tinker with). My question is this, and I know it's a very personal one but I'd like input... ** Am I getting into a continual nightmare of niggling repairs and nickel/diming me to death or are the joys of uniqueness, comaraderie (watercoolers don't wave to each other), worth the frustrations?** I am mechanically able but with fairly significant time commitments. Is it crazy to own one of each? Will you folks support me? Will you answer my newbie aircooled questions with the patience of an understanding parent? Will Lassie ever come home? Thanks for listening. Dan (am I crazy?) Houg '85 Weekender and counting...
