Tuono, RD250LC and DT175MX, the LC has gone no room in the garage/time to ride 4 bikes once the Le Mans came along.

10 years ago I'd just got rid of the gpz305 that hadn't been ridden for 2 years. Had to get rid as I was divorcing the wife and had nowhere to keep it in the new gaff, wasn't sad to see either of them go

The Banana Yellow R1150GS i bought as i was riding like a twat everywhere on the ZX636 and was either going to get locked up for silly speeds or have a really big accident so decided to be a grown up instead

Made the camping trips a bit easier though :)

According to the timeline on Flickr,

I had my long-termer (3rd) Rockster, and Foxy's Enfield (prior to selling it for his missus).

I have a pot plant (a Dracaena) which I had before I met my first wife. I bought it at a sale in the Student's Union. This was back when degrees were worth having of course. ;)
