And a larger carpet!
It's a good start. I stuck with 1200's all way round: 3 2cyl, 1 3cyl., and 1 4 cyl.

SweeeeeT collection. My R3GT is a blast, and very comfortable but I'm thinking next year trading down to a Bobber or T120.
You’re missing a rug!
I could sure us a lift, now that I have 2 bikes to maintain.
Comes in handy (Handy?). Did oil changes on 4 bikes Monday, took a coupe hours and no mess, no fuss, no muss. Vice holds the bike vertical so accurate oil level is easy. Mine is pneumatic so just step on a pedal and up or down she goes.
Couple of notes on the Bobber (what I traded my Rocket III for). I had to upgrade the suspension front and rear to make it rideable. There is only 3.25 inches of rear shock travel and if you put any sag on the rear shock sitting on it you'll bottom out early and often. To make it a real PITA Triumph made the rear shock non-adjustable so one spring rate fits a few. Cornering clearance is limited as well, so touching down 'bank angle indicators' happens on a regular basis even on roundabouts. That can be mitigated some by reversing the rear shock mounting struts to increase ride height of the frame. That said it's a very fun scoot when sorted and puts a smile on my mug going down the road (and it has cruise control).
Good trade!
One at a time…..(hides)…..LoL.
Some people, like Jay Leno, collect bikes just like some people collect stamps or coins. All of the bikes in Jay Leno's collection get ridden. For me, two or three bikes are manageable, for example a touring bike, an off road bike, and a vintage bike.
There are good wives. When mine talks she is often saying "Let's go ride baby"
I had five bikes too and all were ridden for many years but I'm starting to downsize as I get older.
Only three now and one has been spoken for.
I know the feeling, my son-in-law put 'dibs' on my Bobber right after I bought it. Last night he said he'd gladly just inherit the whole collection.......
Tell him the bike gets buried with you
Naw, he's a good egg and he mows my lawn for free........
Now that is a big deal!
