Here's a few of mine.

My 1st SV. Loved it, had a nasty crash & wrote it off. Nearly 5 months off work, but got back on a bike as soon as I could.

Still on crutches when I bought my 2nd SV. This evolved over 3 years into one of the best rebuilds I ever did.

My favourite track bike. I regretted the day I sold this & hold the Isle of Man responsible after telling me I had a job there & not sending me the work permit.
https://scontent-lhr3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xfp1/v/t1.0-9/10455868_10203886147578568_4761317679329081051_n.j pg?oh=efbe72d7524c93ad159fab0d5425eea9&oe=56B5B291
CBR600 That never saw the track. This bike was possessed. Fully rebuilt & everything went wrong with it, so got parted out & still caused problems when it was apart.
https://scontent-lhr3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xfa1/v/t1.0-9/10398867_1140793079468_219022_n.jpg?oh=5da51a0ee10 88bd466de26c4254ea83b&oe=56F9E3C3
Peugeot Speedfight. Fully race prepped 70cc, new rollers, 100cc carb etc etc etc. Cost a fortune, did over 70mph, but I looked a complete kn0b riding it, so sold it to a spotty oik for a pittance.

Triumph Daytona 955. This ended up being knicknamed Blue Poo. It gave me so many headaches when I bought it, but once they were solved, it ended up being a brilliant bike.
https://scontent-lhr3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xfp1/v/t1.0-9/58329_1637985548969_1602640_n.jpg?oh=8e11f70dafb62 fbe43264c8b9d5f7809&oe=56B39862
That's about it, other than a CX650 Eurosport that I haven't any pictures of. I did own quite a few 70s 2 strokes, but they never saw the road, so haven't added them.
These are the bikes I own now.
Triumph Sprint 955. My love hate relationship has carried on with this bike for 3 1/2 years.
