I am out of favor with the motorcycle gods

2002 SV650 (daily ride)- some kind of fuel tank issue, which of course popped up on Monday when the tank was full and I had nothing to empty it into

1996 Honda VLX 600 (wife's)- dead battery. I hate batteries.

1981 Honda CX500D (project bike for bro-in-law)- haven't figured it out yet. Worked fine on Monday, wouldn't start yesterday. Seems like it's missing spark.

1980 Honda CX500C (bobber)- cannibalized for parts to try to get BIL's bike running before the season ended (yeah, right). Currently bike is behind house, while engine is on garage floor

1985 Honda V65 Sabre- purchased a year and a half ago to restore, needs a battery and carb work. Keeps getting pushed aside for other projects

1965 Honda Benly 150- Purchased at same time as Sabre as a partially-completed resto. Have not been able to get title sorted out on it, so it's fallen to bottom of priority list.

1988 (I think) Katana 600- purchased as a partially street-fightered parts bike to get a front end for the CX and some extra cash

19?? GPz750- purchased because it was only $50. Fire damage.

Hondas- 1978 and 1979 CX500s, 1982 GL500- purchased as a lot with the '81D, all having sat in a field for a few years. Stripped to frames, remainder will be sold off/junked once the '80 and '81 are finished

Some days it seems like I'm a scrap collector masquerading as a motorcyclist
