Oh so we're counting scooters as bikes are we Dave My attitude is that if it's got two wheels and an engine, it's a motorcycle- and I want a go on it. The other thing is that my list doesn't discriminate between things that I owned and rode regularly, and the ones that I called "cash crop" bikes, that I bought, sorted out and sold to raise money for the race bikes. |

Dave I totally agree with the two wheel thing, but I don't call scooters bikes. People used to make me cringe when they would refer to a scooter as a bike.
Perhaps it's just me?
Anyway I still have a soft spot for scooters, and still own the GP TS1's.

Forewarned is forearmed ! That's why I only had one . Although it never stopped ! Even though I never changed the oil (due to a rounded sump plug ) , and rode around with the battery terminals reversed for a week ! Fair dues like , lol ! |

Here is a very rough list. The amount of each at the side. I gave up counting in my early 20's and I was upto 200+ then you could pick bike up nice and cheap bikes back then. Must be over 400 now. These are bikes I have owned myself not ones bought in for work. My claim to fame is owning 32 Honda c50/70/90 at one time. I used to just like messing with them cleaning them up them swapping back and two with mates. don't do it as much these days since I started working at a motorbike shop.
