My only excuse is that I'm 57 and never had a break from bikes.

My machines since 1967, as far as I can recall (the precise years of each machine are a bit hazy in my memory):

1965 Honda 90
1961 Triumph 650 Thunderbird (first competition victory on this one - a gravel road hillclimb)
1970 Suzuki T250
1970 Suzuki T500 (owned twice, once 1971-73, once 1982-3)
1973 Suzuki GT550
1973 Yamaha RD350 (production raced, toured, did everything - a very tough little bike)
1976 Suzuki GT500
1979 Suzuki GS750
1980(?) Suzuki GSX750
1981 Yamaha XJ650 (one of my favourites ever)
1972 BMW R75/5 (owned this 21 years...)
1982 Suzuki GSX1100
1983 Honda VF750S
1982 Honda CB750F
1972 Honda CB500
1977 Suzuki TS185
1973 Suzuki RV90 (with sidecar!!!)
1976 Yamaha TZ350
1946 Ariel VH500 (classic racer)
1984 Suzuki GSX-R750
1975 Ducati 450 Desmo
1951 Royal Enfield Bullet 350 (classic racer - still owned)
1973 Bultaco Matador 250
1968 Honda CB350 classic racer
Another Yamaha RD350
1959 Norton 500 Dominator
1980 Honda XR500
1979 Honda XR200
1972 Suzuki AC50
1960 Honda C100
1961 Honda C102 (still owned)
1971 Honda CB500
Yet another RD350
1965 Honda CB77 (305cc Supersports/Superhawk - finally, could buy the machine I lusted after as a 15-year-old; still owned)
1989 Suzuki GSX-R750
1987 Suzuki GSX-R400
1978 Suzuki RM250
1982 Kawasaki 125 trail bike
1965 BSA Bantam classic trials bike
1973 Kawasaki H1 500
1975 Honda CB750 Dunstall
1975 Honda CB750 standard
1976 Honda CB400F (still owned)
1976 Yamaha RD 400 (still owned)
1973 Kawasaki H2 750
1981 Kawasaki Z1000J
1974 Honda XL250 (still owned)
1974 MZ TS250
1976 Yamaha TZ350
1979 Yamaha TZ250 (still owned)
1974 OSSA Mick Andrews Replica trials 250 (still owned)
1974 OSSA Explorer 250 (still owned)
1981 BMW R100
1971 Yamaha XS650
1956 Velocette Venom 500
1972 Honda CB450
1978 Yamaha TZ350
1982 Honda CB1100F (still owned - an old fart's racer now; it's a sort of Chevrolet on 2 wheels)
2003 Royal Enfield 350 Bullet (modified for a trials look; still owned)
2002 (recent, and I cannot remember the year - must be getting old) BMW R1200C
2005 Custom Chrome Hardcore II chopper (1640cc)
2006 Royal Enfield Bullet 500
2006 Honda VTR1000 (still owned)
2007 Honda XL1000V (still owned)
2007 Suzuki DR650 (still owned)

I am sure that I have missed out a lot, as I once did a detailed counting and reached more than 90 bikes in the list. In addition, I have a raced a few bikes for their owners. Some of those machines you work so closely with that you think they're yours as well...

It's funny looking back. Neither the H2 750 triple, nor a standard TZ750 Yamaha race bike, is as scary and powerful-seeming now as folklore would have you believe. They're both pussycats by modern ideas, even though the H2 does neat wheelstands and the big TZ is a seriously quick bit of kit. You do not need to believe all the bollocks about handling of these things, either.

Mine is a short list compared to some of you

Kwaka 100 2 smoke - borrowed to get my licence
Suzuki GT550 - flexi frame flyer
Laverda Jota - eater of tyres
Norton Commando 750 - should never have sold it
Polaris Big Bear - does a 4 wheeler count?
Honda XL600 - practical but boring
Ducati MHR - had this one nearly two decades now
