A neighbor a few houses down has a 4 car garage, 2 wide, 2 deep, and I've seen it looking like this, only cleaner and the bikes were all in good shape (till he finally found a place to open a shop). Snarly's picture has 47. You only see 46? What about the half pint XT100 behind the panhead?

The new frame Harleys are by far the finest touring machines I have rode.

Owned enough to call them mine
1966 XL-LGC
1967 FLH
1969 350 Sprint
1972 XR
1972 XLCH
1994 XL
2004 Road King FL
Had title to? Add about another 40 bikes from a 90cc Harley and a Topper to a Norton John Player Special -- the original factory bullet bike. (Still have the pliers I modified to be able to put the key in and turn it) Most of them I got sick or damaged and fixed for resale to support my Harleys.
(Back during the first gas crunch, lots of people who knew nothing of bikes bought one. Lots of these people lugged their engines badly. You could operate a Honda under 2k rpm forever and get away with it but not the BSAs and European stuff. So soon everyone had some old bike that "didn't run right anymore". Clean it out, maybe jug the piston, beat it for a bit and then sell it for extra bucks. Wasn't a bad deal. Harleys that came in the shop were the shops but the other brands were often up for grabs.)
