Do You Have More Than One Bike?

[wicklamulla]

two 3VD TDM's,   1 4TX TDM, 1 1980 XJ650,    1 DRZ400.

......Oh....that’s all so interesting.....the very idea of ‘more than one bike’.....

 

.....and what it says about how and why each of us (‘cept for the odd, hard nosed, ‘cheapest way to get to work‘ rationalist)

clings to our love affair with all-things ‘bikey’.....whether for the machine(s) themselves, or for what we feel it says about ourselves.

(that’s in addition to the joy of the ride, of course)

For me, the notion of a garage (or two) stacked with a multiplicity of machines, most of which never run /move, 

has no appeal at all -  not knocking it, just not my bag.....(**)

and for some, the stable is, from time to time, thinned out or added to....for whatever reason....loss of interest, cash for a new addition...whatever.

 

Alternatively, some (myself included) lavish all. our bikey emotions on the single two-wheeled love object (4TX)

fantasising about it’s perfectability, or the possibility of achieving it, and , if resources / skills allow, working in that direction.........or just dreaming on......

 

(**) in spite of which (see earlier post) in my garage sits a pristine 1979 GS750, 5k miles, maybe less, bought new by me, jota bars, engine protectors, 4 into one

.......only time it’s moved in the last 20 years, was when I had to swap garages, started easily, ran sweetly.....and then I pushed it the short distance

between the two......

 

 

between the two van doors of it's new owner...?  can we see some pics of it if possible please.
