I have a Classic 78 that I am selling because I don't need it. Closed down my motorcycle shop. I also see a ton on Ebay, Craigslist and FB Marketplace that don't seem to be moving. Have they fallen out of favor? Or is it that the only ones buying them are buying them off the truck because of...

Like the title says, show off your Neons, signs and memorablia/collectibles.

So after many years of lurking, after my divorce, I was finally able to purchase a house with a garage. Not my ideal set up, but it was priced 30% below market and the inside of the house was already updated with new kitchen, bathrooms, living room and dining room. Today, I decided to start...
