Yam XS250....see above. Me mates had suzi X7s, honda superdreams, KH250's, i just played catchup
Honda CB500T what where they thinking when they built this? Felt like an old brit twin, but slower an uglier.(it was cheap)
Triumph T140 this was a chopper!! looked great, rarely ran, nostly pushed.
Kwak Z650c cracking bike! Loved it. Toured europe on it.
Honda GL1000 more euro touring (was stationed in west germany at the time)
Kwak Z900 best bike I ever owned. Sold to pay deposit on first mortgage....
Yam XS1100 very fast in straight lines. Motorway monster. hated corners.
Suzi GT500 fun fun fun. Must tell the tale of the day it ran backwards......
Suzi 100 commuting tool, nuff said
Honda CB750 bit retro, cheap at the time
Suzi 800 Volusia Harley clone. my foray into the cruiser world, it was a short visit. Not a bad bike for 50bhp.

Kwak GT1100 see above.
Buell XB12s love this bike. still own it and will never sell.
Honda GL1000 bought for rallying. You can't carry much on a Buell.
Yam FJ1200 with sidecar again bought for rallying..you need more stuff as you get older......
Trike. as per the pics, but it now has a 1200 engine, extra rack, different seat...it is constantly evolving. Great fun and no helmet..
That's it so far. My daughter asked me if I had owned bikes all my life? Not yet!!!
