In vintage circles they are referred to as 'rivet counters' or 'manual maidens'. Usually prolific at VJMC events.

Seen that first-hand about ten years ago. My oldest bike is a '61 Honda Sports Cub 50. All original, except for the dual-sport tires I put on it so I could take it on gravel roads easier. I lost friends in the VJMC Chapter I used to belong to after that!

I have that dilemma with a Yamaha Omaha Trail 55 right now, will post about it in "Other Bikes" once it gets more squared away and there's some decent weather out to ride it. It has original tires and from what I have found they might be unique to the model and they are long since discontinued. I'll likely leave them on the bike as long as they're rideable off-road... but once they aren't it's probably going to be some Vee Rubber trials tires replacing them and the OEM ones will go on a shelf for safe keeping as the bike is so original. I own bikes to ride them, could see shifting priorities to enjoying just the show & display aspect later in life as I enjoy museums and restorations, but I also appreciate modifications that people made which make their vehicles unique and tell a story of their use and where they've been.

I think 40 miles on a 2023 is pretty much instant regret..

Let me rephrase what I meant. What irks me is when people change stuff and then complain that something else doesn't work as a result. That's all. And no, it doesn't bother me what others do with their own stuff. I'm allowed to roll my eyes! haha

Keep your nose in your own ass, I need cash to stay at an Airbnb in Cleveland to stay with a loved one at Cleveland Clinic that is in ICU that is why I am selling lots of things.
