No the old bike in the front is a 1950 Triumph 6T Thunderbird . It is the bike that started the 650 twin revolution ! It's got a screamin 30 H.P. engine , but they run so great . It is the bike that the British used for Police Duty , although the police bikes were called "Saints"

My 625sq foot garage is so full of motorcycles and other man toys, then I have had to start parking stuff on the ceiling....litterally.
Besides the Tiger 1050 and what is pictured, I have a '86 Yamaha SRX600, '87 Yamaha SRX250, '67 Ducati Monza, '67 BSA 650 (Thunderbolt I think), '86 Honda VF500 Interceptor, '88 Honda NX650.

A little jealous here.  :evil:

The girl and I live the condo life, which mean no garage for motorcycles or bicycles (I like to bike too), and no real storage for tools. My tools sit next to the washing machine right now.  :roll: Once the market picks up a bit, we'll be selling and getting into a real house. We both want out of the condo BAD, but will not be able to sell at the moment.

During the summer, the Tiger is relegated outside under a cover, and goes to the folks' place in their shed for the winter.  :x  Maintenance is done at a friend's place, who has a small garage but a very complete tool set.

Once I have a garage, watch out. I've got ideas. We're planning on a dirt bike or smaller dual sport, as well as getting the girl her own scoot.  8)

BTW, there's a garage thread on ADV that makes me "happy" to look at.  :idea:

What a lightweight.  I only have three motorcycles:  The Tiger, an '87 Honda XL250 that I bought new when I was 20, and my first bike, a '71 Honda Trail 90.

I'll throw dicks with y'all for total number of vehicles, though.  In addition to the bikes...

'01 Jeep Wrangler, '94 F-350 4x4, '94 Coachmen camper, '85 Glasstream fishing boat, and the '67 Mustang that I bought when I was 21.

Too much work to gather all that shit into the front yard for a photo.  You'll just have to take me at my word.

I've gotten better:
96 Tiger (running!)
76 Honda MR250 (2T enduro)
74 Bultaco Alpina 250 (2T enduro/trialer)
74 OSSA Six Day Replica (project)
75? Honda MR175 (NR need to get rid of)
1976 BMW 2002 (should be running, rust, procrastination and lack of money keeping it off the road)
This is after I sold my 99 KTM 200EXC, 78 Yamaha IT175, 1976 MR250 (yes, I had more than one) and 5 or 6 1975-76 Honda MR175 (and I still have a frame, wheels, bits and bobs) and a 74? XL250.
I still don't ride much but the bikes I still have have a better chance of getting ridden now.
Now, where is Mustang going to make room for the Tiger once the sidecar is mounted?
