How many bikes are too many?

[Pony Ruiz]

I know its a personal thing and we all have opinions and reasons....post em.

I've had up to 4 sitting around at one time. Which when I started down this path would have never believed that happening. Now I just have one.
But,
Being afflicted with MBS I feel it comin on again.

I'm thinkin at least one more maybe 2. not GL's this go round. bmw

Then again.... I told myself no more bikes. That was 5 years ago.

[5speed]

what is this MBS you speak of?

[Liam]

Here is someone we all know explaining how many bikes you can have.

[Lucien Harpress]

As many as you want.

...or at least until registration and insurance cost gets too painful.

[Whiskerfish]

I have 3 registered and licensed. 3 more awaiting build. Shop is crowded.

I've got 4 runners and 4 in queue. Some will definitely have to go. Eventually.

I would like to get my hands on a 78 and an 83 Standard sometime. I am not in any hurry.

My reasons for having these? I love them.

[JBz]

i got at least 20. I said no more a few months back then a Ed Roth style v8 trike project somewhat similar to Asphalt Angel appeared. I must be a hoarder. Maybe I can thin out the herd????? jb

I would like to take a moment to thank Liam for taking the pressure off all us husbands out there that get "the look" when we mention another bike.

[Track T 2411]

I had to make a list to keep them straight in my head... When I bought my first GoldWing, I figured it was probably going to be the only bike I would own!

Runners...
81 gl1100I "Grumpy" Daily rider
81 gl1100 Standard w/Hondaline bags, "Layla" refurb almost completed
76 gl1000 "Scarlett" survivor with a few mods

In progress...
78-79 gl1000 "The Jalopy" two into one mash-up
81 gl1100I "Quickie" not so quick collaborative build with my stepson
81 cb650 working on bits and pieces here and there

In the queue...
79 gl1000 custom. Lots of ideas bouncing around in my head, slowly collecting parts
82 gl1100 custom. Even more ideas, totally different direction
79 Yamaha SX750 Triple

Parts bikes...
77 gl1000 no title. My 'practice' frame, and parts donor
82 gl1100 good title, good engine, kinda rusty
2X gl1100 engines
1X gl1200 engine

I love Liam's first post.
I'm married to an angel who will let me buy as many as I see fit.
I do believe I do need another project bike.
I'll never sell my first a 77Gl1000.
Worked my rear off on it and wore out a wallet.
I've no idea how much I spent. It was both fun and frustrating. As yall know I'm ham fisted. But I learned. If you aren't learning you aren't living hard enough.
2ND Yamaha VSTAR 950. SOLD After hardly riding.
3rd Yamaha 1300 gift to my son
4th 2017 indian Scout still here.
I'm getting the bug to ride but am preparing for Cateract surgery
Today the temp was 73 deg F.

Too many to park out of the weather.

I presently have three runners and one project. No room for more. Even at that, the Hunley is in the "family room" side of the basement. Planning to show Hunley one more year, ride the '79 in hot weather, ride the '06 in cooler weather. The '78 project in the garage now will be sold this summer.
