I'm going to hate to write all this out, but here's the whole crew of things with wheels:

Cages:
2001 Dodge Durango (Up for sale)
2002 Dodge Dakota (Inherited it, and going up for sale after I swap out the rusted shackles)
2002 Ford Excursion (The family truckster)
2016 Ford Fiesta (My commuter, really wish I had had the credit for an ST)
When the two Dodges sell, well be buying a smaller more fuel efficent vehicle for my wife to use to take my son to his various therepy sessions and doctors appointments for his developmental issues.

Trailers:
2001 Coleman Utah (With 3 kids, I can take a lot more vacations in a pop up than in a hotel)
2014 Harbor Freight 4x8 utility trailer

Biles:
1981 Suzuki GN400 (Selling that in the very near future)
2015 Bashan Blaze 250
2016 Coolster QG-210
2016 Tao Tao Lancer 150

If you want to add the vehicles that I take care of maintence for you can add:
2005 Kia Sedona
2008 Scion Xd
2008 Subaru Forester
and a 2008 Dodge Caliber

It seems like I'm always cleaning, waxing or wrenching on something!

Some of you guys have ranches and stables. I only have a small fence for the 1980 Kawasaki KX125 and 2016 RPS Hawk 250 and I call them my little ponies because they don't have enough power to be called a horse.

They can still fold you if don't know how to ride or don't pay attention when you are doing it.

I can't get to my pics right at the moment. From the most recent purchase back. I have owned other bikes. This is just what I have kept around.

This is my current line up.
2014 Honda CB500X- I bought it new and farkled out.

2000 Yamaha V Star 650 Classic- Purchased for a song and no dance, in all original condition, from a meth head, in bad running condition. I did all the maintenance, made some adjustments, and installed some niceties.

2004 Suzuki GS500F- Previously converted to a GS500E model for a track bike. It was given to me this way. It's squirreled away.

1997 Suzuki GS500E-Another track bike conversion given to me. It's squirreled away.

1993 and 1992 Suzuki GS500E- I bought these together off a scrap pile for a song and a dance. One is an ongoing resto mod, the other is a parts bike. Both original owners wrecked them soon after buying them. Both were frontal crashes. One was a curb, the other was a solid object, probably a stopped vehicle. They both run, but were missing some misc. body parts. The '93 had 3000 miles when wrecked. The '92 had 1845 miles when wrecked.

1990 Suzuki GS500E roller- Shipped to me in a box. It's squirreled away.

1989 Suzuki GS500E- Heavily modified. All work done by me. I think 90% of the frame is still original.

Yes, that is six Suzuki GS500's. I was once completely in love with these bikes. It has since worn off.

I only counted the motorcycles in my collection. I have a good collection of cars as well, eight in total.

Admitting that you have a problem is the first step toward recovery

ARH - For the riding that I do, the DR and the Hawk are both evenly matched. I was going to keep the Hawk set up a little more off-road and aggressive, and leave the Hawk as a long-distant motocamping tourer. All in all, it's just too much in the house generally and the garage specifically. Especially now that I have the Ural. That thing is an absolute monster in the garage.

If at first you don't succeed, try doing it the way I told you to...

2 dual sports, 1 dirt bike, 11 cars, 2 jeeps, and a never ending list of 'yard equipment' that has engines and wheels around here... I think I "Horde" things with engines ...

Although I wouldn't say I'm a "Horder"... I remember watching that show a few times and seeing all the decrepit junk and dead cats skeletons piled up to the ceiling in their house/garage... all but 2 of my "things with engines" work... and those 2 vehicles are "Parts Cars" so they were never meant to drive again in the first place

About to add another car to the list... a 2013 WRX STI I'm buying off my brother for cheap!!!

And I still need to get some kind of Truck... I get way too much stuff from Menards/Home Depot/Lowes... and the looks I get packing those things in a Subaru Impreza 4 door Sedan is getting old

The 2013 WRX STI has ~305 hp from the factory... a weeee bit more after the AEM CAI Intake, full Perrin Exhaust system, a V-Mount Intercooler and Radiator setup, all with a custom ECU tune extremely fun car if you know how to control it
