Unhappy I am out of favor with the motorcycle gods
12 motorcycle frames, 12 engines, 24 wheels
7 vehicles complete enough to be immediately recognizable as motorcycles
5 of them are titled
3 of them are registered/insured
AND NONE OF THEM RUN!

Mechanical aptitude: FAIL

I'm thinking the lack of mechanical aptitude has something to do with it
