I wish I could find a container full of motorcycles one day.

as for hiding them from the wife 1-3 is easy but 6 that's a different story.

I wish I had the room to hoard like that.  I ran across a 650 in pretty nice condition on craigslist today for dirt cheap, no title though. Anyone want it? lol
Gamma, your rat is about the cutest thing ever.
Hush, let us know if you're really gonna get one, cause I am getting quite accustomed to that jealous feeling. The little green monster is starting to settle in.  ;D

Inks...come on down to south texas and you can ride the 350F I have.

Gamma..don't feel bad I had to count my bikes once....oh yeah now I remember it was for the Divorce  ;D

My shops inside the airport fence....so its easy to hide bikes.

Mr Blasty has the best answer so far....

Come on....I gotta spare bedroom.

One of these days I need to get a 500 so I have a complete set.

Geography lesson for Super Pasty White Guy (any chance of shortening that?) New Zealand is that longish island to the right of Australia, it looks a bit like Japan. :D
Knowing my bro in law he will just seal up the container and go touring round the country anyway but I wanna see them....and get at least a photo for you guys. :)
Heck he wouldn't even give me a stator for my 650, I've only got it on loan! >:(
I think the thing I most like about motorcycling is the speed at which my brain must process information at to avoid the numb skulls who are eating pies, playing the ukulele, applying make-up etc in the comfort of their airconditioned armchairs as they make random attempts to kill me!!!!!!!

The bike not the bedroom.

Got a new battery on the shelf sans acid....

Haven't started the 350 since December...shameful I know....

The Bedroom is nondescript....white room in a little house in the suburb.

Anything powered that doesn't take a 12 A-A motorcycle battery...your on your own.

Well I think somewhere between Houston and New Orleans would be your closest Coast....

But we do have South Padre Island about 60 miles away.

Decent Mexican food is across the river....bout 14 miles away.

I'm going to be lighthearted about this as my bike ended my last relationship. (with a little help from my late nights and low tolerance for boss hoss)
Just tell her, "It's a baby bike, it needs someone to take it in. To love it, and feed it, and when it grows up to be big and strong, we can RIDE IT!"
Here's how my bike acquiring skills are;
Him: Where are you going?
Me: To look at a bike.
Him: Why do you need a bicycle?
Me: Uh, No a motor-cycle.
Him: What the f*ck are  you buying a bike for?
Me: .........To Ride?
Him: What're you a dyke now? You're not keeping in MY f&cking garage.
Me: Fine, I'll keep it somewhere else, but I don't wanna hear you crying about me being gone all the time, while I'm working on it.
Him: Just don't waste your money, don't get it.
Me: Piss off. Bikes before hos.
 ;D

Then again, this is probably the reason I'll never EVER be proposed to.  :D :D :D
Oh well, my bike loves me.
Hush, just send that nasty ol' 350f over here. I'll give her a good home.

Hey kghost,

My in-laws stay in Pharr, TX in the winter.  I just realized that's essentially about the same town as McAllen, isn't it?  The next time we're down there, I'll give you some heads up and maybe we can catch a beer.

My wife has been very very lenient about my "stuff" in the garage.  It's prolly time to cut back a little and stay in good graces.  I started to... sold a couple engines, threw some stuff out but then added a bike I couldn't pass up (Don R is familiar with my latest addition - barn find K0 w/emphasis on barn... ah, but the engine).

Although bikes do get kind of #$%*y when you haven't ridden them for a while and then just jump on them one cold morning expecting them to start right up.

I was in the car with Martha when the truck driver called and said "I'm coming into town with your motorcycle, where should I bring it?"  I couldn't lie my way out of that one! ;D ;D ;D

kghost,
     I may take you up on that offer, we have a mutual friend that says that you may have a few later F models in project form.

I'd also like to see a hangar full of bikes, that would be like unleashing my dog into a butt convention.

My wife just asked why would I buy a seat for the bike when I have a wrecked dragster to fix and a race this weekend? [it needs 900 dollars worth of wheels and as yet unknown bill from the chassis shop] all due to a guy backing his super gas mustang on top of our front wheels then bolting for the exit. Answer? I thought it was a good idea? I sold enough race car parts to pay for it? I dunnow? :o ;D ::)

Sorry, off subject. Hey Gammaflat, you ever go to the drag races? We are trying to enter the nhra race at Joliet in June. I may be able to get 10 dollar off coupons.
