Not many for me ...
1982 MZ TS125 Lux (cheap!) - 2nd Hnd
1975 Suzuki GT750A in blue - 2nd Hnd, money pit
198? Yakaha RS125 (for the Mrs) - 2nd Hnd
1987 Yakaha XJ900F in black - New
6-year lay off for health/crashing/domestic reasons
2001 Ducati 750Sport - ex-demo
2003 Ducati 999S in red - New

Once borrowed a mate's Yakaha XV535 Virago for a month - hoo hoo! Terrific fun, but a real back-breaker for folks over 3 foot tall. Pegs grounded absolutely everywhere - inc. Tescos car park

Perhaps we should add our age as well or how many years we have been riding

[dave w]

I'm game

I am 38 and been riding for 22 years ( since I was 16 )

25 bikes in 22 years.... good... roughly 1 a year then !!!

I am just being a greedy bar steward now and having 2 at the same time to bump my numbers up !

My wife Sue is 57 and has also ridden since she was 16 (With a break to have a child) she also has never held a car licence and currently owns a CBF 600 and a much modified Hornet called Little Insect which was recently featured in Used Bike Guide magazine
