Uh, that's just being redundant, stating that a banjo is out of tune
<big stupid grin for being able to insert a banjo joke on a bike

And to address the consumption issue - yes, there are many a time I
feel guilty about having all this stuff sitting around. It's one
reason my wife and I decided to live in a small condo rather than a
house. Trying to minimize our "footprint" somehow.
Often do feel guilty about owning the Atlantis. When I'm not that
good of a rider, don't "deserve" it and on and on. Then my wife
reminds me that after going for a ride on the Rivendell, I almost
always end up coming home smiling.
And that's the simple answer - it makes me happy to own this (and
other) inantimate objects. These things that aren't necessary, but
make life a more enjoyable experience.
