I have 10 now, not much space for more
How many bikes do you own? A better question might be "How many do you need?" Well ... a street bike, a dirt bike, a dual purpose bike, an acventure bike to go around the world, a fast bike, a curiser (maybe?), a bike with some history (maybe an ex-race bike), a bike for the kids or grandkids or neighbor's kids, a loaner (in any or all of these catagories) so a buddy can go with you on any trip that might come up, an antique bike (of course owning just one is impossible, they come in pairs and gaggles), a project bike (fill in your own requirements), a bike to make your spouse happy, a bike to piss off your spouse, a bike that when you ride it people shake their heads, wonder about your sanity and walk away (that might fit in one of the aforementioned catagories), and of course a bike with a sidecar. Oh yes, you need a second or third sidecar sitting in the corner waiting for you to get around to putting it on something I have already mentioned.
I am sure I must have missed a catagory or two, but those are my basics.

LOL, LOL, Still LOL... I love it. Someone that actually understands that motorycle collecting is a real deadly diesease... My wife knows... 😉
My first list contained a five motorcycle version of that list then got to be huge and I gave up trying to trim it back.
I like motorcycles and will not make excuses for why I buy or build all that I do... 🙂
People laugh in disbelief when I tell them that there are guest bikes here when they come to visit...

my theory on bikes is "Some is good, More is better, TOO many is just right...........fly

Am I the only one here that had a Hiawatha Doodlebug?
I was poking through old files and found I still had the title to my 1948 Doodlebug scooter. I lost my driving privilage for some obscure reason around that time and one didn't need a license for operating a scooter, so that was my wings for quite a while.
Also found the title to my 1931 Pontiac.
Be nice to have both now to put on eBay. I could maybe recover my original investment (or so).
