It became a bit of a mental health disorder at one point with me. 8 bikes in the garage, trickle charging leads all over the place, lots of insurance to pay, servicing, a diary full of dates for MOTs and tax etc etc. Having to move 3 bikes to get to one behind. Track bikes, sports bikes, tourer, scooter... Madness.

Since I got rid of the TL1000, I've just had the Beta 450 for dirt days, which has been quite liberating. But the pull of another sporty road bike is definitely there so I think I'll be going shopping again soon.... :D

I still have a similar mental health disorder.... moving one or two to get to another, optimates galore, keeping track of tax and sorns and MoT's and so on. It's absolutely crazy but I can't help myself. I need some therapy.

I used to have a spreadsheet with MoT's and tax dates on them all, back in the day ebike insurance allowed upto 4 bikes on a policy .......... so 2 policies meant there was a garage full. Now down to 3 of mine (which is 1 too many) plus my Wife's bike.

I think there's a line from a movie: 'How many yachts can you waterski behind?'
