Oh my god, I've been riding for 24 years if you count the mopeds! I must need therapy:

Fantic Cabillero
BSA Bantam - plunger frame model
BSA C15 SS80
BSA B25 Star Fire
Triumph T140 US Spec - chopped with ape hangers
Honda cb 250 RS
Kawasaki Z400J
Suzuki GS 1000 S - with Yoshi big bore kit, extended swing arm etc.
Triumph Thunderbird - 900 Hinckley triple
Yamaha YZF R6
Yamaha YZF R6 - wrote the first one off
Ducati ST4s

I think there is a pattern emerging amongst the ST riders - moped, crappy BSA 250 single, some jap stuff then an ST?
