What Bikes have you owned in your time as a motorcyclist?

[Strom]

Jeez.... thats quite a list some of you got there....

I've never sat down and listed them before, looks like I have a problem... I was at the auction in Deland several years ago. My R90s was up for sale, while sitting in the audience waiting this Dnepr sidecar rig came on the block and I guess I had a spasm or some alien took over my body but, I ended up buying it. I had met a few guys earlier in the day, they were admiring the BMW, as I was pushing the Dnepr out  of the building, I ran into them again. I had to wait for the bro in law to bring the trailer so, I went to dinner with this group.  While discussing the number of bikes we all owned or have owned, they allowed me to join their exclusive club, MBA or Motorcycle Buyers Anonymous. I asked what they did, do you talk each other out of buying bike? Oh no they said, we talk them into it. We go along and look at bikes with the interested party and say things like, "you look good on that" and "if you don't buy it, I will" or "if you buy it and don't like it, I'll give you what you got in it". It is a disease!!!

Here's the list...
1947 Indian Chief (basket case, never assembled)
1972 Norton 750 Combat Commando

2000 Buell S3

Best execution of intended purpose: the Blackbird. What a bike!

Thanks for the opportunity to do that, no sense to it at all, but each one filled a purpose at the time, so no regrets!

It would be interesting to get your comparison of your current (3) Guzzis (in a new thread) as many people on this forum own or are contemplating one or more of those models (V7,V11,12S)

Well, you asked for it, so here goes:

1973 Honda 500 Four
1975 Honda 550 Four
1977 Triumph Bonneville 750
1983 Moto Guzzi LeMans III
1984 H-D Sportster (iron head)

2009 H-D Dyna Super Glide
2009 Triumph Bonneville

2004 Moto Guzzi Coppa Italia

All were bought new except the 1973 Honda, 1974 Norton, 1991 BMW K75S, and the 1998 Centauro.
I've often strayed for Guzzi, but always came back. Lost a lot of money over the years, but had fun doing it. Never warmed up to Japanese bikes, as you can probably tell. I think I had the Harleys I owned, because of the v-twin 'feel'.

Guzzi bikes and Guzzi people are the best!

I started riding in 1969, at the age of 36.  I bought a 50cc Puch from a friend who "got stuck" with it when sears stopped selling them and he bought the remaining 10 thinking his colleagues would buy them. It was a spur of the moment thing.  Like "Guzzi Atlanta," I had been told from birth that even thinking about a motorcycle would kill me!  That little Puch was so much fun, I was hooked, but I wanted a real one.  The list below is what followed, and took me over 300,000 miles since then.

Honda CB 350 Scrambler
Honda 500 Four
Honda 550 Four
BMW R90/6
BMW R100RT
Gold Wing 4 cylinder
Gold Wing 6 cylinder
BMW K75RT
BMW K1200GT
Moto Guzzi Breva 1100
     Still riding at 77, and I love the Guzzi.
