Besides Lizzy the Lightning. I've got this:

It's a 1999 Aprilia RS50. Yes folks. It's a moped. OK, it's been tuned and upped to 70cc, so don't tell anyone. I bought it a wreck in late 2013 and it took 6 months to rebuild. I'm currently using it as a daily hack as the weather can't make its mind up!

Mine don't live in a garage, but a farm shed. They are a Bmw r1100gs my Electra X and a new to me f650cs Bmw on an 02 plate that I haven't even had time to ride yet. Oh and a a k100 that has been in bits since 1999. My other half has a Bmw f650gs and I have just remembered I bought a honda h100 back in feb but haven't had time to pick up yet. I think thats it

1953 350 Bullet (500 engine) all year round hack, plus a 1970 Lambretta (yes Lambretta) Grand Prix 200, currently being restored by myself. Polar opposites but both full of character.

Sorry no Enfields. But I do have a1952 Norton Model 50, a 1961 Norton Dominator 99, a 1972 Norton 750cc Commando Fastback, an Ariel Red Hunter, a 2012 Triumph Thruxton and my daughters Ducati Monster in my garage. All up and running and indecently shiny. Time to buy another bike I reckon.

Ooooops man fingers. That should say a 1958 Norton Model 50, and a 1951 Ariel Red Hunter. Sorry about that.

my what a collection we have! I bet we all wish we kept that SS50 / Suzuki X7 / RD250 that some of us had in the late 70's !

most mates of mine have 2 or more bikes.. one has 2 off pre '65 competition trials machines as well as a 'Blade, one has a firestorm Honda and an enfield and a Bantam (for sale), but the best Garage is that of my mate Will, who has just sold his business.. bought 2 (!) porsch 4x4's, but had a garage full of stuff before he got rich.. classic scooters, a hraly, an enfield, GT185, SS50, Honda Camino, Tiger Cub, FZR750 etc! one day he'll get round to mending / restoring a few of them hopefully!
