See my sig line

The Ring is not kept in the garage :D
 
Fantastic H1, what a machine they were. This is my alternative stable. Tiger 1200 for longer trips (cobwebs on the thing with this pandemic business)and my old 1995 Daytona.

 
I was just rearranging the garage yesterday, managed to compact it a bit more so i can actually walk around in there. The bike side of the garage has a 2017 EX (with black tank and cast wheels), 2004 Bonneville, and 2016 CBR500R, back row has '73 Ducati 750 GT, and Benelli 750 Sei project. Ducati 860GT in the actual workshop, and 6 more project bikes in the back shed.
With the house remodel nearly done, will have time to get to those projects soon.
 
wowo 73 Duc GT 750 and a Benelli Sei... rare birds. How bad are they?

The Ducati is in fine shape, owned it for 30+ years. The Benelli hasn't been started in 10 years. I also have another one, a basket case, going to re-do them both at the same time, soon. Back in the eighties, I had a pair of them, and they were pretty sweet sounding, handled and stopped great. They felt small and nimble compared to a CB750.
 
Beautiful bikes the Benelli's , especially with the 6 pipes . They "lost " it when going to 900 cc with only 2 pipes. Honda CBX should have had 6 pipes ( The Pipe Master 6 into 6 was great , there were few other 6 pipes available as well for the CBX .
 
My garage is a Tetris game. Two car garage with two cars and two motorcycles. The CB1100 shares space with my Bonneville, my Fiesta and my wife's CRV.

As you can see, the small size of the Fiesta is great for making motorcycle room in a tight garage. I need to move the bike to get the car out, but, I don't use the car that much. I don't normally park stern-in, but I needed to get to a broken component up under the dash on the driver side, and needed some room to sprawl out.

The Bonneville lives in the space against the wall next to my wife's CRV, so she's not inconvenienced by a motorcycle in her way when she needs to go somewhere. Being an uremarkable, ten-year-old grey Honda, I don't have a picture of it. :)
 
I bought my Honda 2 years ago, and it joined my fantastic 2007 Moto Guzzi Griso: see this picture, taken in 2014.

This spring I bought an old Suzuki DRZ400S, to explore the vast network of logging roads in our area. You can see that my son has grown a bit in the past 8 years... :)

Love that Griso. Was on track to get one but the Moto Guzzi dealership local to me at the time had no concept of customer service expectations. One bad purchasing experience was enough to sour me on the brand. Ended up with the CB1100 instead. Oddly enough I’m attending two Guzzi Rally’s this year.
 
Currently in my garage L to R.

Moto Guzzi V7R: this bikes fun to ride factor for me is off the charts. At 395 pounds dry it feels light as a feather compared to the rest. We're in the process of finishing our basement. Due mainly to the fact that there's no reliable dealership support within my time zone its destined to be mothballed with 7.5K miles on the odometer and become an object-de-art on static display in the basement home theater/bar.

2009 HD XR1200 with 20K miles: Harley's first real attempt at a modern sport bike. Approximately 9K made it quickly faded into obscurity in a market full of more capable Japanese performance bikes at lesser asking prices.

2013 CB1100 #00021: Affectionately called the 'Tim Duncan Tribute Edition'. Currently at around 24K miles.

2005 HD Road King with 75K miles which I call 'The Big Easy' (coincidentally Tim Duncan's nick name during his playing days). This bike fell into my lap and continues to endear itself to me on an almost daily basis with its easy to live with character in riding style/engine performance and anvil like reliability.

That is a fine tribute, and you can still opt to ride it.
