I did have more toys. I just got rid a 1990 454SS pickup and a 100HP 14" over custom rigid chopper. Probably should have kept the SS, it had 20,000 miles on it and they only made just over 16,000 of them. But it went for a good cause, I traded it towards the C5.

Lots of good stuff in there. Sounds like your starting your son out right!

Men, boys, and the price of their toys...

I guess so. Here's the chopper and the SS. I built the chopper from a kit from Custom Chrome and had a local painter paint the frame and tins. I sold it on E Bay.

Fellow Valk owner also (99 Tourer). Makes it tough to decide what to take out of the garage for crusin' on a nice day doesn't it? Gotta love stuff with tons of torque!

Youre right, the Valkyrie is fast (and smooth), but I really like the Vette too.

My opinion, yes there is too much stuff in that garage. You need to build a third one for all the other things.

The 2 best days of your life are the day you buy your boat and the day you sell it.
But I am looking at center consoles now. :o

I wake up in a cold sweat at night thinking of my car in that garage! Man you've got the bikes, with great potential for damage to both if they fall, but that shelf of stuff on top of the car is what would drive me nuts thinking about it falling.

Don't get me wrong I would love to have all those great toys, but not so close together.

I hear ya. I'm moving the bikes tomorrow. Paint on the floor should be dry by then.
