From about the age of 12...
Â
Fantic Cabalero - 50cc field bike - first crash :-)
Maico 400 - field bike. Utter madness. More crashes.
FS1e - first road "bike"
RD250b - First proper bike at 17
GT250a
KH500 - Loved it, but it didn't love me. Big crash. Still yearn for another two stroke triple.
Â
Gap in riding for a while
Â
BSA 350 - ex army ww2 bike
Triumph 3ta
Triumph 5ta (x2)
AJS 500 with Westonian sidecar
RD125lc (taken in as repairable trade in) Had the full power valve/derestriction kit. Surprisingly quick and agile after a series of heavy old Brit bikes
900 Diversion
TDM900 - Bought in 2005 at 6 months old with 500 miles on the clock as impulse buy while taking a workmate to the shop to look at bikes having just passed his CBT. Came in that day in px. I was actually going to buy a new one exactly the same colour etc, so saved me over £2k.Â
Guzzi V11 - bought in 2010. I have pretty much the perfect garage for me and haven't really thought too much about changing bikes since.
