There are two advantages: I don’t have to agonize over which one to pick for the ride; and the reduced registration and insurance payouts mean I can pay for fuel to keep one running!

There's a lot to be said for the simplicity of owning the one-bike garage. Biker

I believe many have tried that.

I'm down to one right now. The CB looks lonely out there all by itself.

Git rid of all of them. Get the one bike.

Kick yourself for listening to wacko's on the Internet.

Buy more bikes. Celebrate

Thanks again fellas. The CB1100 is now traded, along with five other bikes. Picked up the R NineT Pure and a check today! Took all day to take care of this.

I now have a sweet K&H High seat to sell in the appropriate section

That is quite the load off. Congratulations.

Ensure to post images of the R9T. Need something in return for the hard effort. (whew!)

Congrats on the new Beemer. How did you manage to deliver six bikes to the dealer? Lots of round trips, or did you use a (big) trailer?

Inquiring minds want to know: which of your ten bikes got the axe?

They sent a guy with a flatbed. I was quite skeptical but they pulled it off. He did all the loading and tie downs.

Traded in:

2018 Moto Guzzi Carbon Shine
2018 DR650
2015 TW200
2013 Triumph Scrambler
2020 Genuine G400C
2014 CB1100

One thing about the Beemer, didn't like the fact it did not have a tach, so they ordered a factory one and they threw in that with the install as part of the deal.

Interesting that he tied them all down on their side stands.
