How varied is your bike ownership history?I

[7omly]

I don't know if this has been done before but I thought it might be nice for some of us older farts to take a walk down memory lane by way of foccers previous bikes.
In order (as best as I can remember)
1976 Vespa PX200E in orange
1977 CZ 250DL in black
1980 Honda CB400NB (Superdream) in cherry red
1980 Suzuki GS1000E in blue
1982 Honda C90 in blue
1985 CZ 250DL in metallic blue
1982 Honda CB250NB (Superdream) in cherry red
1987 Jawa 350DL in red
1987 1986 CZ 350DL in orange
1987 Jawa 350DL in blue
1982 Honda CX500E (eurosport) in blue
1997 Honda CB500 in black
1997 Yamaha XJ600S Diversion in blue
2000 Yamaha FZS600SP Fazer (present) in gold/black/silver
Ironically the most fun I had was with the East European stuff and they taught me a lot about motorcycle maintenance. Not because they went wrong regularly but because it was impossible to get any technical information on them.
Apart from the CX500E which was an unreliable piece of shit, [/size][size=78%] (everyone's owned a pig of a bike at some time) I've enjoyed them all.[/size]
Motorcycling's a broad church and thankfully there's room for all of us.

You wouldn't believe what them old CX500s go for these days. I blame them east London hipsters for making shonky old bikes cool again! 

[Andy FZS]

I sold my cx for £500 to someone at work who then sold the number plate for £500

[Hedgetrimmer]

I was messing about on ebay the other day, looking at what I'd have to pay to have all my bikes again now, reasonable to good condition examples, and it came out to something like 60 grand 

4 of them alone would now set you back about 40 g's 

Where did I get all that dosh from? 

[noggythenog]

It would ge better if this thread was changed to


"How varied is your WORTHWHILE OUTSIDE OF THE THIRD WORLD bike ownership"


I would probably level peg you all then
