| 35 years and it's hard to remember them all now and in what order and sometimes I had 2 or 3 bikes at the same time, but roughly;
'60 Ariel Arrow Super Sports
'57 BSA Road Rocket
2 or 3 assorted '50's BSA A10s
'55 BSA DB34 Gold Star Tourer
'5? Norton Dominator 600
'50 BSA ZB32 Gold Star Clubmans
'60 Velocette Viper
'58 BSA DBD34 Goldstar Clubmans
'37 Norton 500 Manx
'55 Ariel VH 350
'76 Ducati 860GTS (The only bike I ever bought brand new)
'75 Honda 500F
'78 Ducati 900SS
'75 Honda SL125
another '75 Honda SL125
'81 Honda CB250RS
'79 Moto Guzzi V50II
'95 Ducati 900SS
'03 Ducati ST4s
Youll note that the early ones were nearly all british so I'm well used to getting my hands dirty. My bikeing slowed down a little through the '80s while the kids were growing up but I never stopped, I just kept the bikes a bit longer. |
