I always wanted a Rolex cause of James Bond and eventually got a submariner, then sold it to start a business. Rode 50cc and 125cc Suzuki TS when I was a teenager and never did my test. Always wanted to do that so treated myself this birthday to a Direct access course and I'm now I'm riding as often as I can get away with!!

Good question

Used to have a huge poster of Debbie on my bedroom wall, when my uncle saw it he said "she has bedroom eyes" not exactly how I would have put it but he was right ;) :laugh:

Wanted to design and build my own home when I was 18 but earning £7k a year could not afford the £34,500 build cost or mortgage, 25 years on I have at last designed and built my own home and have my bikes in the garage and a car I always wanted as a teenager!!

Not sure I'd now want most of the things I wanted in my youth, life has moved on and horizons expanded, though an early Guzzi Le Mans might be nice :) , and a Lotus 7 :)

Now that's interesting (to me at least), I ended up with a Guzzi V50 Monza look-a-like and a Dutton Melos ... champagne tastes and beer money :P
Enfield Himalayan... apparently they're Marmite... not keen on Marmite, but like Vegemite
