      Blasphemy

      I don't think it's possible to have to many bikes...unless your moving a long distance or to a smaller garauge.

      With gas prices going up, so are the value of the bikes. Choose wisely on which ones to sell.

        Impossible

        Too many bikes is like too much fun. Totally impossible.

          New place has no garage I can use. We are moving back in with my folks. I get a 6x8 shed and 2 bedrooms. Everything must go. I'm keeping 2 xs11 standard and special the honda 400ss and maybe the xs650 if I can find a titled frame.

            Staying local or where are you relocating to? The 650 sounds interesting.

              We are only moving 12 miles north in with my parents. They are clearing out 2 bedrooms and a 6x8 shed for us. I thought about a storage unit but at 75 a month how badly do I need to keep all of them? If they had titles or was easier to title I'd think about it. I still have 3 here without titles the 2001 Gz250, 83 xs650, and 81 xs11 special. I still have till June before we move. Waiting on my son to graduate 8th grade.

                I have 5 bikes in the garage now with the only issue being that I have no room there now to work on any one of them. If I could afford to insure them all I would use them all.

                  How tall is the shed? Mebbe you could stack them?

                    Just skip the bed in the bedroom, use a sleeping bag or make a bunk bed and park the bikes in the rest of it!!

                      Hey Fred thats kinda a good ideal but the shed is only 7 foot in the center. But my parents main garage had a beefed up storage loft that has a block and tackle to lift heavier stuff into. Maybe if I strip down one or 2 of the parts bikes and put them up there. Also part of there basement has dirt floors but only 5.5 to 6" clearance and just off the garage. If I can talk my son into doing some digging I might pull some in there. Who knows I still have 2 months to get it all planned out. Thanks for the Ideals though!

                        Dirt floor

                        That environment will turn anything you put there to instant corrosion and rust.
