So, who wants to cry?

1973 cb750 K3 - 4
1975 cb750 K5 - 4
1975 cb750 F0 - 4
1976 cb750 F0 - 12 (I have 3)
1978 cb750 F2 - 8 (I have 2)
1974 cb550 F - 4
1982 cb900 F - 4
1976 cj360 T - 2
1965 ca77 305 - 2
1971 T500 - 4 (I have 2)
1977 GS750 - 4
1973 H1 500 - 3
1974 H1 500 - 3
1975 H1 500 - 3
1976 KH500 - 3
1971 Jawa 350 - 2
1967 GTO - 8
1995 Wrangler - 6
1967 GS340 - 8 (I just sold it but it is still at the house)

Total = 88 (80 without the buick)

These are just the complete vehicles - I mush have another 3 cb750 engines and 4 kawasaki H1/H2 engines lyring around.

If we throw my father and brother's bikes in the mix then we have:

1979 Cb750 F - 4
1986 ZX1000 - 4
1997 FatBoy - 2
for an extra 12 which is 100 (116 if I count the '57 and '90 corvettes).

If there is a special hell for coveting motorcycles, I have my own parking space.

Too many! I have 3 kids I provide with cars!

Mini Vans- 18
Hyundais- 8
Motos-8 (running)
weedwacker-1
tractors-2
lawn mower-1
blower-1
Motos -4 (non running at this time, but not for long)
Miata- 4
It seems that my insurance bill is more per year than the gross national product of several African nations.

All those on operable Geeto!
It depends what you mean by operable? To be fair the only non operable one is the dream - has had a broken ring for years and has been torn down to fix it for years. Was a good running bike before blowby started.

Everything else has spark and compression, and if I were to put fuel into it would run (exept one H1 and the T500s whose newly rebuilt engines are sitting on the workbench waiting to be put back in). About half the bikes are rideable right now as is. Another 1/4 of that need brake service from sitting and tires (tires are the last thing I do before registering so some have been waiting a long time for tires), but run fine. The two t500s just had the bottom ends rebuilt and as soon as I get small pieces in the mail to finish putting the motors back in I will.

My father, Brother, and I have a group policy which makes good insurance for vintage bike so cheap it is amazing, but the only down side is there can only be 4 bikes on the policy at one time. I have one other policy, but the fleet insurance for all those bikes is so damn much that I am content with only two bikes being registered at one time.

If less than 1 days work is required to be riding then it is operable to me (some are mothballed so undoing the storage procedures to ride one would take at least an hour).

JB,
You've got a GTO, what year? The 65' GTO was tits, stacked headlights, still a fairly small unfettered body, the big torque monster 389, 3 deuces, with a rock crusher behind it. A beautiful distinctive basic no-nonsense muscle car. I also love the 66' and 67' 396 Chevelle's. I had a 64' Chevelle 2 door hardtop 283 Hi-Po and a 64' 2 door hardtop Fairlane 289 hi-po. Best musclecar was a 68' cuda with the 340, absolutely ripped out of the hole. We used to get stoned an find a vacant road, punch it to 120, stop, turn around an go the other way, turn around...was fun.

2000 Taurus = 6 (24 valves)
1994 Taurus = 6

1984 R100 (Boxer) = 2 (big ones)
73 CB350 = 2
73 CB350 = 2 (on work bench)
2000 Susuki Savage = 1

Snow blower = 1
Lawnmower = 1

21 total. But I am thinking of switching the lawnmower and the savage single, hell there both singles! Since the Savage is my wife's bike and the mower is mine. I figure I could cut yard work time in half. Unfortunately, I think my wife would know something was up when she has to start her bike by rip cord.
