[Closed] Your Bike:Guitar ratio?

One bike, one bass drum and an old banjo string.

3 bikes (if discounting bikes in bits). one bass, one acoustic, one trumpet and a harmonica. We have a piano but technically that's more Mrs Pondo's domain - she has one bike, a flute and numerous recorders, too.

1 Shergold bass from 1980 in my loft. I keep thinking I should buy a new one.

Nice! - I'd keep it and use it, they were nice basses in my opinion, if a bit heavy.
There's nothing that something like a Jazz Bass or Stingray will do that the Shergold won't.

As used by Mike Rutherford, of course, and Rory McFarlane used to use a fretless one with the Richard Thompson band around '83.

5 full bikes, two frames and a bunch of components with good intentions : 4 guitars

I'd like my ratio to be 1:1 - I want to play the guitar, but can't read music and frankly don't have the time at present.

What's ukulele like to learn?

Do air guitars count?

This thread reminds me of that old tommy cooper joke ...

I went up into the attic and found a Santa Cruz and a Martin.... Unfortunately Santa Cruz was a terrible luthier and Martin made lousy bikes

😀

Just like that

😆

2:1

Covert, BFe, Fender accoustic. I'm rubbish at riding the bikes and worse on the guitar.

I've always fancied a ridiculously pointy hair metal guitar, like a lightning bolt shape or something, painted metallic purple with extra metal flake in it I imagine they're awful to actually play though.

I've had 2 BC Riches, the Warlock was horrible to play, I kept stabbing myself in the knee 😆 But then I had a Virgin 7-string and it was actually lovely, it had a natural rearward weight so it hung exactly where it was put, like a good hefty les paul does. Weighed a ton mind and the access to the high end of the fretboard was terrible.

And it sounded like cthulhu rising, which is all I really wanted.

core- you don't need to be able to read music to learn to play guitar! 😉

4 bikes, 3 saxes, 2 guitars, 1 flute. Saxes are the one thing I'm good at, my guitar playing is not much to write home about.

3 bikes, 4 frames in various states of assembly, 13 guitars, 3 amps, 1 keyboard.

The road bike is the only one out of the lot that gets touched more than once a month!

How about bike/surfboard/skateboard/guitar ratio?

3;1;1;1;1;1

Last being ukulele/keyboard

This thread has reminded me that I bought a load of guitar wall hangers on ebay a few weeks back.
So this evening I'm revamping the man-cave, and wall mounting 8 guitars.

3 bikes, a 26" hardtail, a road/CX type thing and a BMX.

4 guitars, a cheap left handed classical guitar, a left handed Yamaha Pacifica, a left handed Rally Les Paul copy and a right handed Yamaha RGX A2 which my dad gave me.

I'm terrible at all of them, but they do keep me out of trouble. I'm considering selling the hardtail, the classical guitar and maybe either the Rally or the Pacifica. However they're not really worth much so I'm not fully decided.

only one guitar but i only play classical music these days so all i require

3 bikes (1 MTB, 1 CX, 1 Road)
6 guitars (1 Gretsch, 1 Custom Jaguar, 1 Strat, 1 335, 1 Jazz Bass, 1 acoustic)

I hung my old Washburn in my son's room. Means I now have a space on the wall with an unused hanger!

Two acoustics, 1 classical, 2 electrics and a ukulele.
2 steel 26ers 1 alloy 29er and 1 alloy 27.5er.

4 bikes
1 acoustic guitar
1 ukelele
1 trumpet
1 cornet
1 euphonium
1 flugelhorn
1 keyboard

Crap at guitar/ukelele, accomplished at brass, learning keys, occasionally manage a bike ride without falling off.

3 bikes at the moment, should be rationalising that to 2 soon though.

6 guitars at present... though at some stage that will hopefully grow as I have several on my wish list 😉 Everything I have is kinda Les Pauly (including one actual Les Paul) but that doesn't stop me wanting another 2 or 3 proper ones... then I kinda fancy an SG or two... and a 339 or two... and I so want a Baritone, especially if we ever do get around to "putting the band back together" or we just decide to build the Scottish "Supergroup" that gets knocked around every so often.

After that - I may even add a Strat and Tele.

This has just given me the realisation... I am going to need a bigger house!

Don't even play the guitars anymore.

"Why do you need so many guitars"? Asked all the time by Mother/ father in law/ girlfriend. They are all different I say.
On One 456 TI, Turner Flux ( stolen a few days ago), Ribble Carbon road bike, Singular Swift currently being built up
"Why do you need so many bikes"? They are all different.
Longboard and a skateboard, " why do do you need two skateboards"? They are not both skateboards dear, one is a longboard, they do different things.
The arguments we've had over why I need so many backpacks...

I've only got 1 guitar these days.
Mrs BigJohn understands my need for 3 bikes. She also understands the 7 windsurf boards and 8 sails.
But every time she sees me looking thoughtful in a hardware store I get "no you're not having another bloody toolbox"

Seven bikes, two guitars
