A pictorial history of bikes that I have owned.....

....just for the fun of playing with the scanner! The BSA was supposed to be a restoration project. Never happened. Missing: an AJS Stormer 250 I owned, with high ideals of going scrambling (or motocrossing as it is known now). Moved to Canada instead!

etc etc. The PC50 was thrashed unmercifully to and from work, about 10 miles away. It expired after one month. Missing: a Honda XL125 dual purpose I had for a short while. No idea what happened to it.

etc etc etc. The VTR was the missis' bike. Guess who rode it the most.... The CB175 currently resides in a multitude of boxes. Missing: the wifes 84 Virago 500.
