Re: How many vehicles can you run and enjoy at once?
4 between us:
SV (mine) Monster 600 (Wifey) Volvo V70 (for shopping, tip runs and holidays) Fiesta (for running kids around when we can't strap them onto the back of the bikes) Just sold Wifey's VanVan which was taking up space in the garage - hadn't ridden it since she bought the Monster. |

Re: How many vehicles can you run and enjoy at once?
4 x Vehicles in my house, all solely ridden and driven by me and all taxed and insured, non sorn.
VW gold TDi mk5 Transit connect tdi Triumph sprint 1050 DRZ400s Costs me an absolute fortune every year, DRZ is by far the cheapest to run, no depreciation, cheap insurance, cheap tax |

Re: How many vehicles can you run and enjoy at once?
I had 3 vehicles for a while, the BMW (4 wheel type), GSXR and YBR125. Sold the 125 now but would really like a DRZ or similar. Pipe dream that one though for now.

Mondeo estate for when the weather's crap and a couple of bikes (SV & VFR) for when it's nice. Have thought about a Honda S2000, but the bikes are keeping me entertained at the moment.

Re: How many vehicles can you run and enjoy at once?
If you're stuck for storage...keep bikes in the VW van? On second thoughts, VWs are pretty small aren't they... :/
I have one vehicle, the SV. Although we have just acquired a DT125 which may end up being transferred over to me for insurance purposes. YC has his SV, the beast that is the XJ900, and his Montesa, garage is full! Are you keeping your cars at other folks' houses then? |
