Hmmm I reckon I can think of about twenty without trying to hard. Must try harder! Mind you I rekon the three I have now are all keepers. Two of them I have owned for over ten years, one up until recently was still my everyday bike.

Still think I need another small two stroke off roader to complete things though :laugh: .

Well my 2013 Honda Crosstourer DCT is my 15th Motorbike in 26 years of riding so that averages out to 1.7 bikes per year.

Man needs a hobby :whistle:

Treat every situation like a dog..

If you can't hump it or eat it, piss on it and walk away.
