cars owned/bikes owned
Whats your ratio of cars (motor vehicles) to bikes owned?
I count 11 cars (vans, trucks) & 15 bikes. |
Let's see, too many cars to remember, 6 bicycles, and 56 motorcycles.

Did you collect them? Or did you buy and sell them? What kind of motorcycles?

Yes, I did collect them. It started out being heavy on the Brit bikes, but expanded to include American, Japanese, Italian, and German. My first bike was a '52 BSA 125cc in 1958, followed by an 1945 Indian Chief in 1959. The rest is history. I did buy and sell them, but not as a business. I was just an avid hobbyist. But alas, those days are behind me. :-)
I only had dirt bikes. A Montesa, a Husqvarna, a Maico, and a Yamaha. |
4 cars, 14 bikes. 39 car years, 153 bike years.
|
Bikes definitely outnumbered my cars 2x.
|
My ratio thus far is 3:4 at 12 cars and 15 bikes.
Current ownership is 0 and 4. I'm constantly thinking of the next bike. |
Current ratio is 1:4. Over the years I have had an additional 6 or so bikes and about nine real cars. I also had a few clunkers for very short periods of time but I don't count them.
|
Cars/trucks are beyond counting. Bikes are about a dozen. Motorcycles about 20 with the last 6 (since 1997) being Ducati.
|
8 cars/pickups
9 motorcycles 7 bicycles |
I can remember 27 cars but there may have been more, 15 bicycles as an adult and 4 motorcycles.
|
1 bicycle,
2 motorbikes, (dirt) 20 cars/trucks... |
Four cars, one sailboat, and seven bikes that were purchased specifically for me during my so far 63 years of life. I tend to hold on to cars till they are totally worthless, bikes too I suppose. My current motor vehicle is 23 years old.
My wife drives nicer though, but we aren't counting stuff we buy for others are we? <grin> |

Not counting bicycles I've bought for my parents, wife, and kids, but it does include bikes my parents gave me when I was a kid. |

11 cars, 12 bikes. Of those, I currently have 5 cars and 4 bikes.
|
Household number for the two of us: 2 cars (one driver & one classic/collector); 11 bikes (all bikes are in ride-condition and used regularly), and 2 new ones on order .... Wait, do we count tandems as one bike or two :foo: ;) Of the 11 bikes, one is a tandem; and one bike on order is a tandem too.
|
Cars: 2 (Mine (old S**tbox) and wife's (new little buggy))
Bikes: 9 (mine x1, wife's X 3, Youth #1 x 2, youth #2 x 3 NB. These are the complete bikes. Ther are six or so partially assembled project bikes that I hope to find homes for in the next few weeks. |
My memory isn't what it used to be, but I think my car:bike ratio is about 12:21
One difference is that I've only ever owned 3 vehicles at one time, but I hang on to the bikes for a lot longer. Thus, my current ratio is 1:5 |
I wish to revise my previous answer. I answered with bikes and cars currently owned, but other answers seem to be listing lifetime ownership.
Cars: 8 including one motorcycle, not including cars owned but never plated or put on the road. Bikes (that I have owned as an adult): Around 25, including spouse and youth bikes, not including partial bikes not yet assembled or restored. |
You guys got better memory than me.
I have a hard time accounting just for the current bikes. Does the number include bikes I have stashed around the country at friends and relatives houses for when I visit? Add +3. |
