I noticed on here a lot of the members have on their profile a little section with bikes I’v owned (I have no idea how to do this cos I’m a computermbob thicko, and I mostly treasure my ignorance) so I thought I’d pop a list here (I’m bound to forget one or two) honda xr75 suzuki b120 suzuki 80cc scooter moped thing (dont even know the model, I was a kid it didnt take long to kill it) yamaha ty250 honda c50 suzuki rl250 beamish (whitehawk frame and I regret selling it to this day) honda mt5 (it were horrible, but it was my first road bike, ah freedom) suzuki rg125 (rode it like a clouthead, it only died once) honda 250 superdream (you knew it was coming) honda cd185 benly (broke down one morning on the way to work, when I came back some git had very kindly fired it for me) suzuki gs250 custom (put t bars on it and a gopping home made seat, yes I probably looked a right tw*t) yamaha xs250 us custom (broke it for spares which is really the only option for this abysmal piece of engineering) suzuki gt185 (weird style but a great little bike) honda 400/4 (put koni shocks on it and rode the wheels off the wobbly old hector, loved it) honda 350k4 cafe racer another honda 250 superdream (got a puncture on my to work and found this bike in an agricultural engineers workshop in cumbria, offered the owner a hundred quid for it by letter and he accepted, best ton I ever spent, another one I regret selling) kawasaki gpz900r (the original ninja, cracking tool, did two front and five rear tyres in my first year of ownership) yamaha rd350ypvs (cos theres a bit of hoodlum, probably, in all of us and it was right money at the right time) my current bike kawasaki zx9r b4 ninja (might be twenty years old but by ecky thump it goes) and not forgetting my cb450 nighthawk project bike

I think all the bikes you've owned are probably older than me (or there abouts) I've only owned six bikes myself My 2003 Suzuki rv125 van van which I still have and love very much A 1999 c90 which had an unfortunate ending resulting in many broken bones A 1988 cbr600 which had been converted into a track bike and had seen better days... I still have it but it's really not much more than a pile of parts these days And a 2005 cbr125 which was gifted to me by my sister it was turned into a mega little cafe racer and sold on And most recently my 1979 cb400n superdream...

cheers steve, like I said I’m a computer thicko, half competent with a spanner though on a good day... No such thing as a computer thicko - just an opportunity to learn I have worked in IT since 1996 but now have the advantage I can ask my 14 year old daughter as the young’uns know the lot

Interesting list Buster. I've owned a fair few since 1979 when I was but a callow 16 year old. I tend to buy stuff on a whim, usually 'cos they're very nice, then, if I don't like them, or don't use them enough, I move them on. Often, friends will offer me good money for stuff I've got and it's just too good to turn down.
My list; Casal 50sports mopeds x 2 1975 & 76 Ducati Monster 600 2004 Harley Davidson Street XG750 2015 Harley Davidson XL883Sportster 1998 Harley Davidson XL883Sportster 2003 Harley Davidson XL883Sportster 2009 Harley Davidson XL883Sportster L 2011 Harley Davidson XL1200 Nightster 2011 Harley Davidson Street Bob 1600 2013 Honda CB250N x 8 1979, 1980, 1980, 1980, 1981, 1981,1980, 1981 Honda CB250RSA 1980 Honda CB400Four x 7 2x1976, 3x 1977 & 2 X 1978 Honda CB100N 1980 Honda CB200 1975 Honda CX500 1981 Honda CB500T x 2 1976 X2 Honda CB250T Dream Twin 1978 Honda CB400T Dream Twin 1978 Honda CB450K7 1974 Honda CB550F 1976 Honda CB550F2 1978 Honda CB650Z 1980 Honda CB750F 1982 Honda CB750F2 1978 Kawasaki Z250 Scorpion Ballington 1980 Kawasaki Z250B 1981 Kawasaki Z650F3 1981 Kawasaki GPZ750 1985 Kawasaki ZXR750 1992 Triumph TR65 Thunderbird 1982 Triumph T140E Bonneville 1979 Triumph Bonneville America 900 2013 Yamaha RD50M 1979 Yamaha XS250 1979 Yamaha Passola SA50 1982
