How many Bikes do you have in the stable ? There are those with M.B.S. here and I wounder how your S.O. views the collection in the garage ? Is it a source of irritation or does she feel that she knows where you are ( Turning a wrench or shining up the Iron steed. ) Please let me know what is in your collection.

I've got 2, the Valk and an ST1300... And I found the best way to deal with the spousal unit and the extra bike - The ST1300 is technically hers, even if I ride it more than she does...  |

I have five as shown below. The "wifey" is supportive but I think I may reached her tolerance limit with my last purchase. The CB 1000C and the Valks are my favorites. The CB 1000 runs like a "scalded" dog.  Don't get me wrong the VTX's are good machines, but I really get my "jollies" with the others.  |

I'm jealous that ya'll have that much room for sooo many bikes. I've only got a little one car garage and the Valk takes up most of the space. I might could fit a project bike in there somewhere, but it'd be tight fit with a capital T.

'97 Tourer is mine.  '98 Tourer is hers.  '05 Shadow Spirit 750 is hers. Haven't seen it for a couple years though. We loaned it to her brother in Melbourne when he wrecked his bike {not his fault} then when he came back from his vacation/recovery time he was laid off.   And lastly the '99 Standard nearing completion to it's Tourer conversion for both of us.  See... 2 1/2 of our 4 bikes are hers. That's how to do it! |

I had up to 5, but find 2 is just right (for me). Though they're both almost always in top condition, if one goes down, you can just park it and take the other. The non-valks just did not get ridden much, and it got to the point where I had to ride them at certain intervals just to keep them in good running condition. When you factored in plates, insurance, inspections, personal property taxes, maintenance-oil-tires, and a serious storage issue, the scales were tipped. And the good news was I got three sold just in time to add the nice proceeds to the divorce settlement for the crazy person.  ( sarcasm font) |

Only 3 Tourers, but always looking for more.  No wife, which, most likely, is the reason I'm able to have 3 bikes. But my "Friend" likes to ride. She likes the bikes too. |
