Honda C50 - off road as a kid Honda Camino - well it seemed like a good idea at 16 Suzuki X1 50 - brand new at 16 and hit a bloody car with it Yamaha RD 125 LC - Fast and could corner even with small tyres but got stollen Suzuki 550 - can't remember the model Long break from bikes Honda CB 450 DX - note to self, don't arrange an internet date and take off without checking the oil. They don't like 90 on the M11 with no oil. If anyone wants it it's available; lol Short break from bikes Honda VT 500 EF - current bike and if there's any farmers around I can plough a field with it

Just out of curiosity, what colour were the bikes you had an 'off'? I remember reading once that the least likely CAR to have an accident would be a RED one, just wondered if that applied to bikes too.

Interesting Sandi! My only accident was my X1 when I was 16 and it was RED. Maybe that answers everything; lol.

I've owned some sheds (even a 250 dream once - shame*) but the one bike I will always remember is my beautiful RG250 gamma mk3. Best handling little stroker of its day and made me grin like a prozac'd jack russell everytime it hit 7k on the counter.

had the luxury of access to twin (ducati damah 900sd which was my brothers) and a stroker (rd400 stan stephens tuned which was mine) in my late teens/early 20s so that was fun times! had gt750 kettle which was hell on 2 wheels so sold it, briefly had a z650 but then went and bought another ketle - i never claimed to be logical!! even though it did nothing well i loved it!!! borrowed a friends gpz900 when they were the quickest things about, so had to get one - what an awesome bike!! 350lc which i loved. all sorts in between, with my last being gsxr750srad - real fun bike! i would love a 500gamma or aprilia rs250 - i guess i'm just a 2 stroke girl at heart!!
