Oldbiker has got the right idea!  I have to ask, though, how many bikes have you had? :o

 That's pretty neat to have the same bike 34 years later, and be able to take a picture of it at the same house and same location at the house is pretty neat also. You have kept that bike in nice shape. I have an old BSA 650 Thunderbolt that I have owned for about 23 years now. Currently it is being rebuilt by myself.
Take care and here's to many more rides for you ;D ;D ;D ;D

Very cool pictures.
 
It would be impossible for me to do pictures like that because I don't have any older pictures, but I have owned my 75 550f for 26 years.

I also have ridden my bike more in the last 6 months than in the last 5 years mostly because a lot of my friends are having there mid life crisis's and buying a riding motorcycles.

I have to say that avatar is to cool. Took me two times watching it to actually see what was going on. Pretty neat.
