    I ran into this guy's site and was impressed by the amount of bikes he has collected over the past thirty years. Pretty much what some of us here have started doing but only in the last 10 years. I only have three bikes so I don't consider myself a hoarder and therefore not in need of any counseling, lol. This guy started collecting when these bikes were not yet classics and half of them purchased new from the dealership. Albeit, leftover models at a discount.

    Seems to favor big Suzukis instead, but has an nice example of an 82 XJ550R SECA and 82 XJ650R SECA.

    Which I could get my hands on one of those CB400F SS's. Always wanted one.

    Wow! Your question got me curious which prompted me to ask another question. Went looking for a gallery so I could check out hogfiddles' bike. But I can't even find a gallery section. Is there a gallery section on this site? Or am just missing it? If not, maybe SnowSheriff would consider creating one. Maybe a gallery section for member's XJ bikes only and another for member's non-XJ bikes. But should only be for bikes which members own.

    The old site had the gallery but I think he is still working on it. Pictures are good but you can also look Hogfiddles's signature and get an idea of what his stable looks like.

    image.jpg Oh noo noo noooooo..... You have to come to a carb clinic to have peek ( unless you're reeeeeaaaallly lucky, and happen to spot the very few pics I judiciously post)---- or happen to put in private conversations, etc---

    Oh, like this for example----

    Thank you! I built that out of three other buildings that I tore down for people. It actually a multi-use building... The right side is my shop, the left side houses a 69 Torino gt project, and the far end that you can't see is a maple syrup sugarhouse.

    The bikes are just a few--- I have them stashed all over, and spread around at various friends' houses, too.

    For the carb clinics, I usually bring a bunch over/out

    I'm tempted to make the trek to the next carb clinic and barter some Wisconsin honey for home made maple syrup. . . . .

    Ok, all you multiple bike owners. How do you afford all the insurance? I have 5 now and the insurance is beginning to be a factor. And yes, I ride them all.

    Only 400 miles, might be worth the ride! Would be on the KZ though.

    One policy is cheap, and I can have 4 bikes on the one policy. So, I have two policies. I figure if I had one policy for one bike, I'd have two policies anyway, so take out two to begin with and max them out......
