Hogfiddles has you beat. Heck, he has everyone beat.

 

Lol... Its not about beating another, it sharing an obsession and maybe a pic or two of something in our collections.

 

It's not about what you got - it's about who you have to leave it to - no one here is taking one xj with them....

Yess! another bike hoarder. Oops... collector

 

I can stop any time I want!

(They have functional brakes. )

 

What?! We can't take our XJ's with us! I'm not going!

 

Okay, I'm game. I enjoy checking out everyone's taste in bikes although I know some bikes just fall into your possession due to convenience or an impulsive reaction to just what looks cool! The early ones I acquired didn't really have a theme to them but did influence my future purchases. Now the main objective for my collection (obsession) is finding bikes that were at or near the top of the performance charts for their respective era. And when people inevitably ask... WHY??? (you can only ride one at a time) Well, they bring me great joy. They are an investment I can enjoy and when it comes time to sell I will make a tidy profit on almost all of them. I also enjoy the challenge of tinkering with them, learning the characteristics of the various engineering marvels/breakthroughs as they progressed and improved through the years and keeps my mind working as I approach retirement.

Nice collection @Blackbird
I collect any and all machines that cross my path and im "attracted" to... except my xs650 midnight special.
its all stock right now and collecting dust, but its mine lol...

 

Some......75 or so others. Mostly xj’s, a dozen or so that aren’t.

 

@Mechanic1978 As to your note about your H-D X90: It was AMF that owned Harley Davidson and bought half of Aermacchi's motorcycle division.

As to my garage inventory:

1982 XJ750 Seca
1990 Mazda Miata
A bunch of spare parts.
A whole lot of tools and stuff to make things with.

 

Dave, it looks like you have a couple of VMax. What do you think of them?

 

I like them. Lots of power..... 145hp!!!!!

one is an ‘85, the other is an ‘02

 

Is that a Harley Davidson top centre photograph?

 

No..... 2002 Big Dog “Bulldog”

 

I like that bike.

 

my ashes are going in the frames so I can keep riding whem I'm dead

 

That's deadication .

 

That is frigging BRILLIANT!!

 

Here’s the full pic

 

I would buy one of those. I see them in the UK but they look different from your machine. Must have a lot of low down power.

 

I bought it from a former student of mine. She wanted to sell it so she could buy a bigger bike—— lol.

she’s a neighbor a few mi away, and knows I am into the xj scene. She let me pay it off in increments as xj parts sold and xj repairs/service were done, so it was bough and paid for via xj’s

 

Question for @hogfiddles - you don't have to answer of course, but I'm curious if you have a plan - long or short term, for all your bikes? I can see you do some buying, selling and repairs, but you do have a lot of xj's, and none of us is going to be here forever...
I have a tiny collection, just two whole ones and a 900 in frame and engine only, so I'm an amateur at this.
Tia.

 

Retirement funding

 

That makes perfect sense, gives you control as well as something to do.

Garage?

Lost use of my late father's garage when the family home got sold after his passing. At that point, I had 85 1200 naked Yamaha Venture, 81 Honda CB900C with a late 70s CB750 for parts, and a 75 Yamaha TX500 hardtail bobber project bike. Had to give up all but the Venture which someone is buying off me so I can replace it with an 83 XJ750 Maxim (bit smaller, so will be easier on my bad legs that have some vascular issues)

All the rest of my stuff (about 85% is vintage pro audio equipment) is currently soaking me for monthy rent on an 8x16 storage unit

 

1983 XJ750 Maxim (running plated work in progress)
2007 Suzuki S83 wife wanted me to get it because she didn't trust the Maxim. It went on the credit card spur of the moment purchase my birthday, best present ever.
2006 Yamaha WR250F great play/trail bike
2004 Kawasaki Mule father in law sold the cottage got it for free but just takes up space.
1967 Arkansas traveler boat with a 1980 30hp Evinrude( huge work in progress)

Got to get a bigger garage too many bikes that I want and the neighbors hate the old boat sitting in the driveway.

 

Only have two 82 xj750, old yellow and Johnny Cash bike ...one piece at a time . Have plenty of spare parts . Need to get my 71 super beetle back on the road , had an accident with a traffic sign .
