I was jus messing as I have four. The better half always say I don't need them. But she doesn't mind. Strangely enough the Hornet I have has the same story. It belonged to one of my better half friend's daughter she rode with her dad. When he passed away it stood in a garden for seven years. And it took me about a year to get it back on the road. I just get addicted to them. Do like the Dukes but it time to stop now. You done a terrific job on the honda should be proud of the end result.

You guys are so lucky. I’d really love to add a Harley (Fat Bob) and a 250ish enduro to my Street Triple, but I just have nowhere to keep them. I’m very jealous.

Been into Harleys aswel. Had three wide glides. And a 81 Sturgis. Sounds great but every time you ride the things something goes wrong and they end up costing money you never get back. Nothing comes cheap for them. But don't get me wrong I would have another in a breath. But just love my Triumph's better now.

nice collection mate

I don't have the Harleys any more. Just my Three Triumphs and the hornet. The Harleys had to go. I used to go out on the wide glide and end up strange places. Just didn't want to stop riding. But like I said they cost a fortune to keep on the road.

I too have had hundreds of bikes in my time, sometimes you buy a bike you fancy, and end up selling it because it’s not for you, no other reason, but you don’t know until you try them.
I am down to 4 now, my Street Twin, my Yam RD250/350A, ( not for me, so up for sale), my Suzuki Tempter ST400, owned 7 years, and a Honda 125 scooter as a runaround., I never stop looking though!

Tell Dad he is an original. You know people like your Dad. Are what made us the people we are. Ever sat and talked to him about bikes. I used to love it with my Dad. they know every thing. And stories that make you proud to follow in there footsteps. Yes we are all lucky Fella's. My Dad had a few bikes aswel he would pull them down and build them again in an afternoon. Only one bike he had that he didn't work on. It was an AJS 650 twin. He would crate it up every winter and ship it of to pride and Clarke to be serviced and checked over.

I used to ride the Suzuki Hustlers. Could never beat the RD'S so I just hogged their tail end's till they seized and I got home first.

I am so glad I got a mucky bike for the winter

 

Great collection there, like you I have a very understanding wife, I’ve been up to four bikes in the garage, at the moment I’ve just got the Street Triple, but I’m currently after a 748 or 916 as it’s a scratch I need to itch.

Love the CBR600, I used to have an F3, great little bike!

 

They are fun!
I used to green lane on a DR400 Suzuki a few years back, fell off in a very similar situation to your photo, that's the trouble when you can't see what is beneath the water, good fun and it keeps you fit, wish I had one now.

 

Fortunately the camera man went through before me so I mostly went the same route ish
The engine in my Beta is from a DR, but the old 350cc aircooled engine!

 

have 4 riders. 1970 Bonnie, 72 Combat Commando, 86 LeMams and 05 Sprint. I think I need an RSV Aprillia.

 

From an RSV owner you're only allowed one once you can spell Aprilia

 

I was there as well in 78, I thought that the Island would sink as there were so many people over for the TT, cheered loudly when Read's Honda broke down.
We have been to the Island many times since our first visit in 72, our honeymoon, my elder brother moved over in 71, so we always had some where to stay, magic memories.
