Your biking history in picture form

Bloody hell Lozzo, when they run out of fuel you can fill them up again, you don't have to get another bike, lol.

I'm always on the lookout for my next bike. It's an addiction.

Thats definately an impressive amount of bikes Lozzo. Like your own set of top trumps lol. Mines better, well I`ll get this one instead and it beats yours.

Lozzo, mate they need to plaster you up in the science museum in the motorcycle gallery under the ancient section...that is some hardcore old school list.

I love this thread. I've had to do a bit of digging and fill in a few blanks as most of my photos are still back in Canadia, but:
I got a '72 TC90 for Xmas when I was about 10 (best Xmas present ever!):


When I was 16 I bought one of these ('83 VF750F):


Which I soon replaced with a very slightly used '88 GSXR750. After a couple years I modified the subframe so I could fit an '89 750LTD tail:


The GSXR was soon joined by an '85 RZ500:


And the pair of those were joined by an '89 FZR400:


Eventually those 3 bikes were all sold off and replaced by this '94 CBR900RR:


And then I spotted the upcoming '98 TL1000R (my first brand new bike) at the bike show, so the CBR got traded:


I kept the '98 TLR for a year. Loved the bike, but had some issues with the dealer/warranty, so for a small premium I swapped it for a '99 TL1000R:


After selling the TL I took a break to do some travelling, and when I got home I began to collect the bits I needed to build a TZ250 with an XR650L motor (this was about 95% complete before I had to sell it to move here):



Foolishly thinking I didn't have enough on my hands with one large project, I bought this 81 RD350LC in bad shape. Don't have many pics, but I added a tuned YPVS motor, early R6 forks with custom upper triple and Renthals, TZ-3MA swingarm and F4i shock. It was about 70% complete when I sold it to move here:


While working on the other 2 bikes I was getting the urge to ride again, so decided to add a brand new '05 Husaberg FS650 SM to the stable. This was the most entertaining bike I've ever owned:


After selling off almost everything I owned and moving to the UK, I soon found myself in possesion of this gem - an Alice Racing KTM576 (70hp!), which was stolen last year, has been relocated, and is currently living in impound in Manchester:


Not satisfied with just the odd trip to the track to ride the KTM, I decided on an SV650, bought pretty much standard (shown with Mrs G), but I quickly started to modify it:




Then added this little DT to the stable, so I had something for the wife to learn offroad on. It was stolen along with the KTM (they left the SV alone?!):


And now the garage sits empty, awaiting the return of the mighty KTM

Yamaha JogR 50, was great my first ped, had a bit of derestriction done but wasnt owned by some chav first and totaly recked, got it from my dads mate with about 1500 miles on the clock who owned from new on 55 plate



My Gilera DNA 50, 06 reg something like 8k miles when i got it, but my mate had an insurance pay out on it and got the bike back so loads of damage, but checked at work and it hadnt been recorded as written off bonus! then one day it wouldnt start, i payed £100 quid for it, £30 on a ignition coil later hello bargin bike then got panels for it, the bike probably owed me £200 all in which i made a profit on when i sold it, did 50mph every where which i thought impressive.



My CBR125, my first bike i ever did a wheely on shame it was an accident, only been riding it for 5 minutes and i happened to be pulling out of my estate and went across two lanes heading towards a barrier, how i saved it i will never know, got it for £1000 damage all down the right hand side, working for a honda dealer i got all the parts i needed for around 200 quid, then sold it on when i got my SV for a nice profit, had only done 6k miles as well



My SV as it is now



My FZR400 3TJ which had dropped a con rod when i bought it, decided to strip it and sell the parts off, again made a bit of a profit

Still looking for my next project, and hopefully my new road bike sometime next year

Not my one, but mine was identical, Kwak BN125, eventually blew the engine up



Again, Not my gpz500s, but same colour



My sv pre crash



My sv post crash



My 03 Cbr600rr
