N +1 = D
Where N is the number of bikes you have.
I solved the D part of the equation rasping the Cash to buy my CCM, by selling 2 of my Bikes!
The CCM is arriving next week, 145kGs wet (approx) is great to ride, I'll get to find out how it goes laden with camping kit, but it's around 80KGS lighter than my 90/6
anybody here have more then two bikes???

3 is the ideal number IMO, one workhorse, one toy for the road, one toy for off road.
I'm short of the off road toy at the moment, so only 2 bikes, but have so much work to do around my house and garden this summer I doubt I'd get much time to ride off road anyway and road riding is definitely the priority for me if I've got limited time to play.

Re: anybody here have more then two bikes???
The problem with multiple bikes is that you can't concentrate on one and some of the bikes always need something, like MOT/Service/Tyres/Tax or farkles

I am slowly leaning to that conclusion as well (thumbs)-Ralph- wrote:3 is the ideal number IMO, one workhorse, one toy for the road, one toy for off road.
Maintaining 3 bikes if you got them from new (I prefer that way) it's not that hard after all.

I have 2 and am after a 3rd. I just can't make my mind up what to get? A cruiser, a sports bike or a classic?

Get a classic, they're great fun to ride and if you've done some of the work on it yourself you'll actually feel it's more your bike than anything you can buy from a dealer.waynecoluk wrote:I have 2 and am after a 3rd. I just can't make my mind up what to get? A cruiser, a sports bike or a classic?
The biggest problem is that you'll never want to sell it and you'll want to buy another one :pinch:

Re: anybody here have more then two bikes???
I like the idea of a Suzuki RGV250. It was one of my poster bikes growing up and I still think they look the bollocks. Would probably learn quite a bit about mechanics aswellrobson wrote:get sport and classic :woohoo:waynecoluk wrote:I have 2 and am after a 3rd. I just can't make my mind up what to get?
