Yeah, some folks have no emotional attachment, and simply see the bike as the sum of its parts. You can look at it constructively, though. A year ago somebody parted-out an excellent CA95, and I grabbed the front fender and fuel tank side panels off eBay. One bike dies so others can live.
For those of us that like to 'preserve', we need parts, and people like this owner provide those parts.
Still, when I started my project, I intentionally hunted for a bike in the worst condition I could find. I wanted the challenge. My bike was less than a parts-bike :-)
