The moral of this story is never start sorting out one bike before finishing the previous one ...

Easiest way to fix those is through trial and error.

Jumping straight into the dad jokes, fortunately I'm immune to them!

Oh yeah, when it comes to humor I clear it completely

May I ask what bikes are pictured?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You can. And more importantly, I can answer!

Left, leaning on the maintenance mattress, is my wife's 2002 Gasgas Pampera 250. Center front is my 1999 Graham Jarvis edition Sherco 250 trials bike. Behind, partly under a cover is my baby, a 1980 Yamaha TY175 with custom everything. Hidden behind the Yamaha under the green cushion is a 110cc MiniGP bike.

This is the maintenance area, we have more bikes parked in the garage area, and a couple more in the cellar ... when people say you should have "N +1" bikes they're not right, when you hit more than 6 or so at the same time you have too many to really enjoy each one.

Thank you for taking the time to reply! What an awesome collection. Out of the lot, do you have a favorite?

Thanks :-)

The TY175 is the least powerful yet most fun to ride, that's why out of those mentioned it's the only one we're keeping and I aspire to convert it to electric when the opportunity arises
