upto the age of 16, several "field bikes" C50's, C70's, C90's, AP50, CB250G5, XL125 etc.etc.

Then at 16 MT50. Tuned to the hilt, 60-65mph everywhere and 18000 miles.
17 brought in the RD125LC.............tuned to the hilt 100mph+
19 saw me pass my test and by a 350LC.............tuned to the hilt. 130mph+ and a crank a month
There's a worrying tendancy developing there

Then a forced break due to being pulverised in a car smash.

3 years went by. I had a brief spin on my mates RG500 whilst still on crutches though

Bought my first Ducati. and ex F2 500 Pantah racing machine. Converted that back to road trim(ish) and road her for 2 years+
Then bought a 750 Sport with 40mm Dellortos and cans on. What a sound!!
Then had a mind f**k and sold up. Only kept the helmet.....
Couldn't bear it after 4 months or so and bought a H0nda (I can say it) VFR400 NC30. Loads of fun.
Then a ZXR750J2.............one of the prettiest Jap IL4's ever imo.
Then the Ducati beckoned, i remortgaged the house and bout my 748BP which I still have.
Kind of a rolling test bed, and a bike I really never want to sell on. Should be "a bit special" this year if all goes to plan to
