Yep, having two is great, but three makes a more stable stable.
In my book N + ! is the right number of bikes. N=number you have += plus and 1= the next bike you need/want to buy.
Famed Yamaha champion rider Kenny Roberts lives just down the road from me a few miles. The way I made this discovery was kinda interesting...
My son and I were fishing at Turlock reservoir a few years back. We had ridden my Beemer down to the lake, and walked down to the shoreline maybe 50 feet away. As we were a fishing, an older gent came walking by and struck up some small talk. He asked how I liked the Beemer (GS1100), and I told him it was a great bike. He said he had ridden many bikes in the old days, but really hadn't much Beemer experience. He then made a surprising comment saying he had about 60 or 70 motorcycles up in his garage (pointing to a nearby hill with a big barn structure). At this point, I was thinking "Oh yeah, right!" and that he was just an old windbag. He then reached out his hand and introduced himself as Paul Roberts and we shook hands. He said you probably have never heard of me, but maybe you've heard of my nephew Kenny, or his son Kenny Jr? He pointed to another house a little ways off to the west and said that's Kenny's house over there! We finished our conversation, with him inviting me to ride up to his property and look at his "stable" (actually Kenny's), but it got to be too late after we finished fishing, so we went on home.
