How Many Bikes Are Too Many ?

As we can all agree that a new bike is always nice to have but is it possible with all the bikes Triumph have released over the last year or so that it's getting very much like a kid in a sweet shop so many good bikes but a lot of the same type to do the same job the new viper 400 is very nice though and now it has moved me away from fancying a new BSA Bantam for a convenient jump on and go in all weathers

 

Phew, I thought for a minute I was going to have to explain the obsession growing in my garage.

 

Did at one stage in my riding life have 28 bikes of all cc's and states. Only have the one now. But the urge is still there just running out of excuses these days.

 

How many bikes is too many?
What you have + the one you haven't bought yet

 

I know what you mean, the range of Royal Enfields is becoming baffling, and there are a lot of closely related Triumphs too, among many others....

Have you considered a Honda GB350 for a runaround? Japanese build quality in a small bike. Or a scooter with loads of built in storage? What am I saying!!

 

@crispey You're so right.

 

The choice is absolutely mind boggling on paper, but when I actually look at and / or test ride machines, there are only really a few out of that vast amount that I actually want to own and ride long term. I like the look of loads of machines, don't like the looks but can appreciate the artistry or utility, performance or whatever of many others. Some I would love to own but cannot afford and others I just cannot see one single redeeming feature in .

I go into the garage every single day or night before I go to bed just to look at my bikes because I feel so fortunate to own and ride them, that is what I am looking for amongst the huge amount of choice out there.

 

Apparently so @ajc400 but the triumph viper throws out quite a few ponies more than the competition and scooter don't use that type of language with me no need for that I thought my brother used some similar words with me the other week when he asked why I had got the puppies and I told him after careful consideration it was good for my mental health and gave me a reason to get up earlier in the morning and he said a job would do that I mean cheek of it

 

Well Joe I've just got the three all different types the adventure the classic and the sports but only got one bum but saying that at last count 23 helmets and just the one head
