Did you ever get those brakes fixed so they aren't soft?

At least they're all somewhat varying in style, age, or displacement. I know some people with multiple newer sport bikes, all in the same general performance tier.

Also somewhat related; could we see a better pic of the 81 Honda?

if you've got the money to support your habit....doesn't sound like a problem. 4 bikes probably adds up to 1 nice car or a decent car and a project so you're good in my eyes.

heres the catch: I dont really have the money (2 bikes are buddies bikes that i'm holding and get to dick around with)
i dont have the SPACE for it. these 4 have to get stuffed into a 1 car garage, as the lexus and the Audi in the back ground take up the 2 car driveway

Reminds me of this one time my power was out for two days. I couldn't get the SLR out of the underground garage. I imagine everybody was laughing at me while I raced the SLS.

You probably need a combination of a vacuum pump and some tapping.

bob and john > Mattbob
07/30/2014 at 12:00

i tried. i either didnt know how to do it, or its REALLY hard to get air bubbles out. I lost my patience and called it a day.

I had a solar array farm installed as a backup. Unfortunately it was cloudy and raining for the last week. Overflowed two of my pools!

I have 5 bikes:

1978 Suzuki GS1000e

1979 Suzuki GS1000ec

1973 Yamaha TX500A Cafe

1972 Kawasaki MT1-A 75cc pit bike I restored

2007 Kawasaki Vulcan 900C as my daily rider and touring bike.

I see no problem with bikes, you can put 4-6 of them in the space of a car. I have many friends with more bikes than me, my buddy Scott has 11, my buddy Arie has 15. Hell the president of the Vintage Japanese Motorcycle Club here in Minnesota has like 60 bikes (mostly 'zukis)

I had a bank of 12v batteries. I started pulling them when my cars' batteries died. I would drive a different one every day, but they would all still sit for months at a time. Leads to a lot of depleted batteries. Maybe if I stayed away from so many classic Italian cars I would have less electrical problem.

Some people just don't understand the struggle.
