You see all the time that some of us have more than one bike soooo, whats in your garage? I have 3 bikes: 98 Valk Tourer I call snot. Its Jade and Green. A 2013 Triumph Rocket III Touring, black in color, POS,  and a 96 Harley Springer Softail, red in color. So, whatcha got?
You are never lost if you don't care where you are!

So are you calling the Triumph a POS or the HD?

Oh, and in my garqage I got the ULTIMATE bike, a '99 Valkyrie Standard. Black.

As we all know (but may not want to admit) the 99s were the best!! 97 & 98s were experimental models to work the bugs out and everything later was just copies.

AND these still have the "Made in the USA" casted in the block, which I highlighted on mine so all my HD buddies can see it better!!
Remember, if you are on a bike and wreck with a car no matter how "in the right" you are you are going to lose. RIDE LIKE EVERBODY IS OUT TO GET YOU!!

What's a garage?

My shed has two valk interstates.  One leans on the wall, and the other leans on the first (bag guard rails). 

Serk

My car, spousal unit's car, push mower, riding lawn mower, weed whacker and friends, my Valk, spousal unit's ST1300 that she never rides and we really need to get rid of but I'm so loathe to go down a bike.

(Hmmm, wonder if I could talk her into selling the ST and using the money for me to buy a backup Valk...  :cooldude: )
Never ask a geek 'Why?',just nod your head and slowly back away...

of course I've got the wifes Durango, my '99 IS, the daughters POS chinese scooter, lawnmower, 8 bicycles (wife has a problem about passing them up at garage sales), boxes.  that's the other thing she likes to collect 'boxes'.  every once in a while i'll throw out six or so but she somehow she'll replenish her stock of empty boxes to the point where you trip on 'em as you bring groceries into the house.  I have now idea why she likes boxes so don't ask, I just burn 'em or crush em into the recycling bin when it gets too crowded.

As soon as I brought the 1999 Valkyrie I/S home it took over the garage.  :2funny: My Oldsmobile(which may have crap the transmission)is STILL pouty about that.  :D I've got no proof but I believe/think/postulate that the old lawn mower said or did something that Phatt Ghurl Did NOT like because I came out there one morning and the kitty corner wheels looked like they were ripped/bitten/torn/broken off.  :crazy2: I asked her about the carnage and she just gave me a SO WHAT shrug.  :cooldude: I'm thinkin the weed wacker and the hedge trimmer clued in the new lawnmower.  :roll: And a couple of tool boxes filled with 60 years some accumulation of tools and ends and odds.  :-X I've got a medium sized metal box loaded with old nuts and bolts and washers and I've carried it around thru all my moves.  :-\ BUT more than once it has saved me a trip to the hardware store or wally wurld in the weird hours I do stuff.  :cooldude: Oh and those tall roll around suitcases-daughter CAN NOT seem to get rid of them. Sorry fer the long winded reply.  >:( RIDE SAFE.

My garage is dedicated to motorcycles...cars have to stay outside. 

I have my 99 IS and Marcia's 97 Tourer...



and my project bike...a 1980 Kawasaki 550 LTD...that is in need of some TLC...



As for 4 wheels...I have a 2007 Nissan Murano and Marcia drives a 2013 Kia Soul.

to be honest, too much crap really don't know what is all in there (in the summertime)  but come winter, I do find space to fit somehow the 2011 hyundai santa fe,  2012 toyota tundra, 01 Valk I/S,  snowblower, ATV snowplow blade, standing 2x4' tool rack, 2 kayaks, and the 2008 kymco people s250 scooter with mere inches to spare. 

Wife doesn't even attempt to drive the Tundra in the garage since have literally 2" to spare on the right side angled to the right and less than 12" in front and 5" in back to fit it inside while still closing the garage door.  In the summer,  I leave the tundra parked outside 3 seasons to fit the bicycles and 3 ATV's/scanoe/etc. inside.  for summertime enjoyment.

99 Valk I/S (Green/Silver),  82 Honda CB900C,  81 Honda CB650C (for sale). 73 Honda CL350, 08 Saturn Aura XR, Misc tools, parts, yard/lawn/snow removal equipment.  My 00 S10 ZR2 has been moved to the driveway for the last few years.   On occasion, and only during the snowy winter months, I have been known to move the bikes to the back of the garage and leave just enough room for the SO to get her car in the garage.....

One car garage with my Valk, all my tools, and a bunch of other stuff that I probably really don't need. 
I can't help about the shape I'm in
I can't sing, I ain't pretty and my legs are thin
But don't ask me what I think of you
I might not give the answer that you want me to
