I have been riding for 30 years, some of these bikes were not classics when I owned them, they were just bikes.old bikes. Everything here with the exception of the Triumph TR65,Daytona,Ducati and 91 sportster which were all bought brandy new, where bikes that I owned because they were all that I could afford at the time. Strange to think that 13 years ago I sold a 1970 T120 which was gorgeous for $6500......... wonder what it'd be worth now!The old Enfield I gave away to a friend for his dad's retirement gift.

I'm getting old, I can't remember them all. 

Memorable ones? 

Bultaco 360 Astro Flattracker, a copy of a Champion frame.   Never finished a race on that one.   Worth 10 times more, now, than what I sold it for back then. 
The first 900 Ninja in Monterey County
1985 Honda CR500.   Anyone for 75 mph wheelies in fifth gear?  A bike that I rode in Short Track, TT, Hare Scrambles, Enduros, a really good dirt bike.   Absolutely reliable.
The first CB900F in Monterey County.   I had 2 of those.
1981 KZ1000J, a bike I wish I still had.   A really good Universal Japanese Motorcycle that would turn inside my buddy Franks Yoshimura engined GS1000E. 
98 955 Daytona.    A bike with personality.   It sounded like a Ferrari at 9500 Rpm in sixth.

There have been a bunch.    About 29 more.

I officially hate you.

The bike of my dreams was an Enfield 750....chrome tank and all that shit.

1981 Suzuki GS650 - 1st ever street bike.  Good solid bike, should have kept it.
2002 Suzuki Bandit - A bike I regularly want back for 2-up duties.  Thought it was slow, I just didn't know how to ride it
2002 Suzuki GSXR-600 - Great machine, it was so much more capable than it's operator.  Guess that's why it wound up scattered along the Blue Ridge Parkway in lots of pieces.
1999 Ducati Monster 750 - Fun bike, we've seen a lot of miles
1977 Honda CB550 - Solid, but sold, it was the never-ending project bike
1984 Suzuki GS1150E - Fast & dangers doesn't even begin to describe it
2000 Ducati 900SS - Another fun bike that'll see me through many miles
1988 Honda Hawk GT - Great bike from Honda, ahead of its time, it taught me somethings about riding fast
1978 Suzuki TS185  - Another never-ending project bike.  1st motorcycle I ever rode, and still have it and work on it
