How many bikes have you gone through?

I know what you mean! I always have a hard time knowing what the rules are for this kind of thing. Kind of like counting the girls in your life - depends on the definition a person uses.

Like, do I get to count the bikes I bought for the girlfriend/ wife? And how about my kids bikes? I rode most of them as much or more than they did. I always told my kids that the bikes were mine, and they better be good if they want me to let them ride them.

Can I count the bikes a mfg. 'loaned' to me to race? Even if I did have to send back the frame & motor #'s. How about salvage, project & parts bikes? Some of them ran, and I rode some of them. How complete do the parts of several in my basement have to be to count as one? Did/do I have to have a title or mso for it to count? Then there are the bikes I bought for my friends, at an auction, or off of Craigslist or Ebay; I've ridden most of them at least a few times while in my possession. Oh yeah, I almost forgot the ones that I never saw, but signed a bill of sale for, for a good friend, so he could get a title. (Positive that they were no stolen, seriously!) Do bikes I've owned twice count as 1 or 2? (I recently bought back my 1981 YZ250.)

The one that bothers me the most, though, is the title I have, in my name, for a bike I have absolutely no recollection of. Baffles me to this day!

So, what are the rules here?:up:

 

95 Ninja 250
91 cbr 600 f2
01 gsxr 600

05 gsxr 1000

Quality over quantity

 

Some other guy posted his skateboard and plastic models. Have at it. It's for fun. If you had, say, a Vincent Black Shadow frame in the garage, list that. If you had a fender from a 77 Hondaka, not so much.
My rule was, if I traded money, favors, or parts for it and it was in my garage, it's mine.

^ Nice :up:

Thinking about this thread brings me back to the bikes I really regret getting rid of. It's tough having the constant desire to check out different rides, since it's not feasible to keep a Barber collection of bikes around.

Biggest regrets having sold-

1992 VX800 (First 'brand new' bike I ever bought)

1995 GSXR 750 (Last of the cradle-frames)

1999 VTR1000 Superhawk (nicest street-powerband of any bike I've ever owned)

1984 RZ350 KR Yellow with 2000 original miles (NEVER should have sold that )

2002 MH900e - picked it up from a guy in Utah and road the bejeezus out of it for a season. I had a guy give me sh*t on a Sunday ride once for riding it, saying it belonged in a museum and not with somebody who didn't respect it as art - HA!

2006 Thruxton (in blue - beautiful bike and actually made in Hinckley, not like the new ones from Thailand)

There's a few more in there, but I gotta say as much as I enjoyed the race-reps of 1990's I don't miss servicing the carburetors

 

I've been thru a bazillion in the last 30 years, but for whatever reason I've slowed down a bit (my last new bike was my 04 R1, still in the garage).

I do wish that I had two of my old bikes....my old Rupp mini bike, and my Bultaco 250.
