I don't think you can have too many motorcycles. I have three at the moment, and will add at least one, perhaps two to the stable. One will be a classic, from the 50s or 60s and may be a Triumph, or a BSA. Or, perhaps even a Rudge from the 30s. Depending on finances.

My wife doesn't think I need three, but she does understand that I think I need three. The XR200 is for fun. It's an 86 model, so is rough, but you couldn't kill it with a stick. The Harley is old too, by todays standards anyway, and used to be my everyday transport until I moved a long way away from work. So I bought the Speed Triple and did three years of commuting until I decided I needed the Tiger for both commuting and some touring, the commuting I'm still doing, but there hasn't been much touring yet.

Gabi likes the Tiger best for comfort, so I have that to be thankful for. The last long trip we did on the Harley saw her fly home her backside was so sore.....

Mick

One of my favourite sayings, and I have the t-shirt:

NEED HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH IT!
