Sorry, no idea re all of them.
But here the ones that were/are significant:
BSA Bantam - first one I fiddled with after mopeds.
Jawa 350 - In the days when this was enough to get away from the cops with! She was stripped of all and anything that was not needed to make her go.
Vespa 150 - a "rat" scooter. Seriously!
Royal Enfield 500 Meteor Minior Sport - my first pride and joy!
750 Bonny - took me all around Europe
48 Harley Panhead (rigid custom) - still wish I had this girl!
Harley Pan-Shovel (rigid custom) - fast girl!
Harley Shovel (rigid custom) - tried to ride while family, business and mortage...
Bonny custom (rigid) - to win shows with.
Others I can remember:
A few 650 -750 Triumphs put together and used for a month or so but then sold, some in shows
Suzuki DR500 to travel around Oz on. (My first Jap bike, and she was not a bad girl!)
Bout a doz or two 50 - 250cc japanese dirt bikes for me and my kids. Bought cheap, fixed up, used and abused and sold on.
