    I have four. In a garage a third that size. Squeeze away; you need a chain-driven XJ.

    But Fitz, I also have to fit a car and a truck in there. Not so much in the summer but in the winter I don't like to leave the vehicles out.

    As far as a chain driven XJ I would really like a 550 Seca. You're lucky to have two well cared for specimens. A buddy of mine had one way back in '82 and I still remember how much fun that one was. There's a pic of it in my gallery.

    I don't ever envision ever selling my Seca. It is my favorite. :D

    I was wondering, Why the nearly empty garage?....then the car and truck part came<LOL> Up there, it is kinda nice to garage the cars in the winter....so you don't haave to consantly dig 'em out! Nice bikes!

    Mlew's garage looks like he actually rides them all, frequently. You like Yamaha's Mlew? <lol>

    I have a two-car garage, truck sleeps in the cold so I now I have a '75 T500, '75 RD350, 2-'75 GT550's, '75 H2, '75 H1, '73 CB350, '82 Xj650turbo and a '07 DL1000 to round it out.....and still fit my 2 seater car in there!!

    Yes they all get ridden, I ride all of them. My wife son and daughter ride also. Its not ofter you see 4 30 year old bikes ridden by the same family.
    Yamahas just seem to find their way to me. CraigsList is a great place to find neglected bikes for cheap.

    Damn people with huge garages, I'm stuck with a "shed" that just barely fits my XJ550 and my C180.. But then again I live in an apartment not a house.

    We all have been there. For many years my "shop" was a 1970 VW bus that I kept all my tools in and worked from. When we bought our first house my only requirement was a real garage.

    Even in the bus or the shed, at least your bikes are close by. I have to keep mine in my dads shop, which is across town (5 minute drive lol). Even though its not far, somedays its quite a pain to go across town to do some work on the bikes, especially when the girl friend has other plans for me lol.
