The most Guzzis I ever had at one time was three: '89 LeMans V and two '75 850-T.

The first T was my baby, the one I built up into my all time favorite bike. The second I intended to do something similar but a little more performance oriented with. However, I never got to it and sold it after holding it for two-three years. I never rode it so I never really think of it as one of my Moto Guzzis; I was just its custodian for a while.

I've always found that when I have too much of anything, everything suffers – including my mental health. So I keep the motorbikes down to one, the bicycles to one, and the car to one nowadays. I'm doing the same with cameras (although two is a better number there) and computers now too. Simplicity is best.

 Same here , simple is good . Small house , small TV with no cable , flip phone instead of a smart phone that I can't use , usually just camp on the ground . Wholey Schmidt , like I'm some kind of weird minimalist it seems

Minimalist is a good thing! How do I get there???

I never intended to have a collection, but now they're everywhere. I won't say where they are, what they are, or how many, but it's a lot. Quite a few are two or three of the same model - for example 1977RS x 3. I started out with a 76 T3 basket case three or four years ago, but the title was missing. Then I got a 77T3 spring of last year because who knows when the basket case would come together? And so it goes - now I've got three guzzis plus the basket case.

Passing up a good deal takes an awful lot of control sometimes! I think I'm getting better now that there's no place to put a new bike.

[oldbike54]

 "How do I get there?"

 Well , it helps to be broke  Seriously , some of us are just naturally minimalists , probably influenced by upbringing , dunno . The first step is stop buying stuff , then figure out what you are really using on any kind of a regular basis , start getting rid of anything that doesn't get used on a regular basis .

My current ambition is to have one of each CARC bike. I currently have a 2v Norge and an 8v Stelvio, and I hope to add a 8v Griso in the spring. The underlying platform is consistent, but the execution and result is so remarkably distinct!

[analog kid]

Does it have to be Guzzi?
I bought a Honda Silver Wing Interstate so my wife could ride with me. I liked it so much I bought the naked version to ride when I didn't want the huge fairing in my face.

The original Interstate engine began burning oil so I bought a parts bike and transplanted the engine.
I still find them fun, but am trying to rationalize. Too many bikes.

[Arizona Wayne]

I think us bike/scooter collectors (more than 1) should have a poll....How many of us are married or single?  Just curious.

I am curious too LOL...I am struggling to keep one bike especially with the wife and the kids...

oh god they are expensive...and I ain't talking about the bike...

[Chet Rugg]

married

[Turin]

5 oddball 1-2 year only Guzzis, from different decades, so I've done the exact opposite.
+ 1 triumph.

Married, but she has her own hobbies.

[Arizona Wayne]

I have 3 Guzzis-'77, '81, '04; 3 maxi-scooters-`04,`07,`09; 1 `91 Suzuki,`00 MZ .   Wife was a biker babe before we both remarried.      I've been riding Guzzis for 33 years.

[Chuck in Indiana]

I had 2 V11 Sports.. the last of the *real* Guzzis  at one time, but I've been totally eclipsed by Scud, who has 4.

I had 4 at one time.  Yeah....I know.....starting to go on the crazy meter.  Sold the Silver and Rosso Mandello.  Kept the Black and Nero Corsa.  Was seriously considering a Rosso Corsa.

Sweet!! Like twins from different mothers! My Eldo and Ambo are both black with white.

If serial ownership counts, yeah I'm in,  having had duplicates of Eldos, Ambos, Ts. Non Guzzi duplicate bikes were Yammie XTs, DTs, Honda CB 750s,  Sportsters, BMW K bikes, and Triumphs. Right now I have 2 early 21st century Bonnies. Always looking.

Started with a 2002 V11 Scura: Keeper
Then I found a neglected 2003 V11 LeMans (Red): fixed it up to be a keeper, but...
Then I took over Unkept's project: 2002 V11 LeMans (Champagne): project currently stalled...
2000 V11 Sport (Green): This was too good a deal to pass up recently. Low miles, ran like crap, transmission leaked... it's all sweet and clean now. I was gonna fix and flip, but now it's a keeper and the 2 LeMans need to go...

I'm sure we all have our "reasons", but at some point the light on the crazy meter does start to flash.

So Tom - you ended up with a short (red) frame V11 Sport and the Nero Corsa (with Ohlins)? That's kind of where I'm at - keeping the Ohlins-equipped Scura and quicker steering early model. And that green... it's spectacular in person.

[Tom]

Sorry for delayed response.  The Ohlin suspension was a major factor for buying the Nero Corsa besides less of them being built.  Excellent sport tourer bike.   

[guzzi ride]

How about 3 1000s. who can name the last 2 ?
