Welcome Gaz, just how big is your garage ? Or are they stored in the house, knew a geezer years ago had a bike in each bedroom, trouble was he couldn’t get them out due to the landing to stairwell being at 90 degrees to each other and only just handlebar wide.

He eventually got a number of us to pick each bike up and manhandle it to a point they could be moved downstairs. He decided he could against our advice ride the Honda Monkey bike down the stairs himself, all went well until he got to the bottom of the stairs,when the front tyre dug into the carpet due to the steep angle and somersaulted him straight over the bars across the living room into the front door, he being of a heavy disposition took the door off its hinges onto the footpath where he lay groaning and was then hit by the Monkey bike that was still on full throttle, bounced over him across the road, landing in the bushes opposite. Being true bikers we ran across the road and retrieved the Monkey bike first before returning to fella me lad who was now sporting tyre marks across his ample stomach and wooden splinters all around him which vaguely resembled the front door he demolished on his air flight across the room. We asked him if he was okay which was responded to with a groan followed by ‘How am I going to explain no £****** Front door to the landlord’. Being unable to assist further we left him to it. We later found out that he went to a local trader, bought a door, strapped it to his ample frame and biked it home.
