How many bikes do you own?

[Rudemouthsky]

I own 2, one running a 2011 796 and one I'm slowly restoring to a working condition honda cb500 four

I have a ton of 550F parts if you need anything. 2 complete racks of carbs, misc carb parts (jets, needles) exhaust headers I think, a CB350 gas tank, headlights and headlight ears, oem blinkers, tail lights, etc. And like 6 different titles if you need a title LOL

Cool!  I mostly restored a '77 CB550 that I picked up non-running and no title for $200.  Cool bike.  I sold it to a guy wanting to build a bobber.  I still have a set of rear springs.

I asked THE QUESTION to the wife again. Well, it's not a "yes". But at least it wasn't an emphatic "no" either. This thread seems to be working! 

This is why my advice to young, single men is to buy all the toys you want before you get married...

All this talk of having more than 1 bike got the juices flowing. So last Saturday I went and picked this up as my second

0     but when i can, 5

I was once up to 4 Ducs in the garage.

Currently at 2, 1 running, 1 not (sound familiar anyone?).

But I have found that the population of bicycles (both road and MTB) has multiplied quite rapidly in the last 5 years to 8 between Stella & myself.

Yeah, but it's not just about economics. I think I screwed the pooch when I bought my 749 without checking with her. "But honey, you would have said no" isn't a good enough excuse?

Sometimes it's better to ask forgiveness than permission.

That said, I always check with her out of courtesy and she's always said she would "NEVER" say no.

Sometimes I text her a pic of a bike saying that I just bought it, just to test. She's never reacted badly.

One of these days it won't be a test and we'll see for sure...

Trust me, I am scheming.

No idea what you're referring to...

I was told "I'd be very disappointed" but hey she married me so she could be used to it by now.
