Currently 10 but I need to do a slight purge to free up some more room.  After this winter I want to start riding more than building.

Ha ha, you guys are funny.  Actually its 11 bikes, forgot the current Ducati build this thread was started for.  Actually only 9 are in my garage and 2 are in my home office, got to remember I like the minis and have 5 of those.  Counting the 5 minis as 2 big bikes I really only have 8 bikes.  ;D

I have room for the bikes but its a pain in the A$$ maintaining and rotating them for ride time.

Plan to sell off my hopped up yellow CT90,  the hopped up red CT70 and the CL360 as a start.

I know it will be a blast to ride for sure but going to be tough to replace the 1200R.

Thanks!

My dad instilled in me having a clean shop is key at an early age, I never leave the shop with out picking up and it makes for a good workspace and limits losing Sh*t.

Yes, but my wife would quite possibly kill me.  The big brown chair is where I go to escape the drama of a wife and two pre teen girls...  Sports and a good IPA seems to do the trick.

Thats the plan David, probably list them late February / March when people are rich again after cashing their tax returns.  :)

Yeah, nice cave! Do you have a place for cars? LOL. My sympathy to you. 2 PRE-teen girls.... Just wait a few more years until they are full fledged teens! That's when the drama hits the fan. They're just cute now. They turn into aliens. If that's not a detached garage you may want to build one and soon...

Well, you could bring in the excavation equipment to make room for those lifts for motorcycles that are mounted to the wall with a pair of Steel box beams anchored to the floor.  The elevate a bike above the level you can easily park another beneath it.  A different approach would be to install a four post car lift with a floor that could support the weight of several bikes.  Move the 3-4 out from under the lift to lower the lift accessing the one you wish to rotate into riding queue.  You gain some room to maneuver.  Or rather than digging out, put a 2nd story over the garage if one does not exist...or build the detached man cave high bay garage workshop if your property would support. 
There is always buy the huge garage workspace witha nice house attached or included approach, but...you live in California, land of outrageously priced property.

Ha ha.  I just hate sharing when it's not correct or 100% done.  Twist my arm...  my new painter is fixing the tank and I decided to go with a different Ducati logo as well. 

Until then, this will give you guys an idea of what the finished product will look like and the mistake made by my painter.

Thanks Don.  Can't wait to get the tank back with the correct decal placement so I can wrap this thing up.  Bummer is the weather here will more than likely be crap by the time it is done.

So..what's screwed up..?  The little band of green on the tail section just under the seat is a bit unusual, but other then that...  I thought you were going black with white stripes and number plates, Tige.  The tri-color is definitely traditional, though.
