ReconRat Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 Somebody convince me that I should sell a bike before buying another.I'd like a late model muscle cruiser, or an older NightHawk S (don't ask) or both even. Or a BMW - R or K dunno...Or convince me that I should wait till I am willing to let one go before buying another. Or tell me how many are too many...Or find me a big garage with a little house attached... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Artmageddon Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 If you have the space and money to get it, you can never have too many. Will we see this one though, or it will it be invisible like the newer 919? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jporter12 Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 100 is a nice round number. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tpoppa Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 Most streetbikes I've ever had at one time was 4. I've tried to get down to 1, but it never seems to happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes me wonder exactly how long a damaged chain takes to actually break. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scruit Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 I'm lucky in that I have a workshop and a pole barn. Space to work on / store a couple dozen bikes... Now if only I could convince my wife to let me buy a second bike... Bikes are like guns. They all have their time and place. You wouldn't go varmint hunting with a Kimber 1911, but you can't really CCW with a Ruger M77 MkII in 22-250 (4000 fps jacketed hollowpoint = sucky day for mr.woodchuck) now can you?So, you need a "Hunting" bike and a "CCW" bike and a "Zombie Apocalypse bike" and a... Get the picture?I think you need a Cruiser for Bike Night at The Loob. You need a touring bike to come with us to Alaska... A turbo 'busa would be good too because it can go from 0 to "soiled underwear" in about 2.0 seconds. Then you need a 'wing for the Nationwide Children's Hospital toy drive (put the comically large stuffed toy in the back seat) Then you need a 2-stroke for going offroad. And you need an enduro so you can get to your 2-stroke from home.So, anyway, Honda Northwest has a nice Councours in stock. I told my wife I was going to divorce her and marry the bike. "Good, becaue if you buy that damn bike and that's the only RIDING you'll be doing." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imprez55 Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 I grew up in a house with 4 bikes. In all seriousness I think 6/7 is pushing it because the costs of registration and insurance starts to get high. 4 or 5 would probably be ideal; 2 cruisers, 2 sportbikes, and one specialty/wild card.Short answer, you have room to get more.

jagr Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 Is that the chain you told me was wearing out 2 years ago? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReconRat Posted October 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 Is that the chain you told me was wearing out 2 years ago?Yes, it ran out of adjustment, so I took a link out, last year, and put it back. Just to be a smartass and say I had done it. It lasted one more year.It is now in a condition that will quickly damage the sprockets. So I parked it. And I don't know where the chain is that I bought last year. Somewhere...edit: 919s are known for not having much adjustment. It comes with a 114 530, but both a 114 530 and 112 530 fit up.
