But at the very least, you know the bike is different in all those ways, if you choose to change it, it'd be your fault, if your mom or dad or sibling changed it for you, you'd have the right to be pissed, but even if you didn't have the bike any longer at all, you still have the memories of the races, those can't be repainted. That is what Tip and I mean, your coming at this from a different angle that doesn't relate to what we are saying. The past is static and cannot be changed regardless of what the future brings.
But I do get what you are saying GA.
