  • New Bike

    Just bought a 99 Royal Star Venture. Gonna keep the XS at least for awhile Might look to trade it for a Special or remove the Saddle bags and Fairing and use it for the Short trips. I probably gotta get rid of something though I'm up to 3 bikes reistered 1 in the wings, a parts bike and a Basket case. On second thought I'll just build another garage.

    Congrats on the new bike, I have found that 4 bikes is the functional limit. They take up one bay of the garage. The other bay has a bike lift . Cars? they stay outside !!

        You probably should make it a two car garage while you are at it.

        Congrats on the new bike.

            Now you're talking. More bikes the better.

            So is the couch - because you wouldn't be allowed back into the house? I know my wife would throw me out if I brought more bikes home.

                Dream Garage

                My idea of a dream garage has 12 stalls, heat, power, water,A/C with 12' ceilings and a 2000 sq ft apartment up stairs. Full exhaust system. A 1/4 mile paved oval track on one side and a 1/4 mile dirt track on the other side. No guard rails but with lots of run off area. Any close neighbors are also gear heads. One with a full machine shop and the other with a great welding shop. We all drink the same kind of beer, fish, ride and snowmobile together.
                Of course there is a cheque in the mail from investments of around $20.000. a month.
                Dream on Ken!
