Ray......you are the last person who can have a pop about hair! :classic_laugh:

And if you think that's bad you need to check out @Sir Fallsalot's scruffy mullet.......he looks like one of them New Age Travellers! :littleguy:

Good point mate, just popping out for some hair extensions. It may take a while. ?

Let's play a game, and see who can spot the trend first!  I listed these with pics in another forum a couple years ago, but the photo links don't work here so you'll have to use your imagination. I just copied and pasted this so if some of the comments don't make sense, that's probably why. 

# 1, 1991 Ducati 907ie

#2 was an RD 350 track bike made out of three bikes (so does that make it 2, 3, &4?). It's #907, I haven't got any good pics of it

#3 A Yamaha R5 that was used to build the 350^^^^

#4 was a Honda Hawk... if I have pics I don't know where they are

#5 May have been a KDX250, not sure of the exact order around this time.

 #6 1995 Ducati 900ss/cr

#6.5  Honda Ascot, FT500? The single cylinder. Was going to be a racebike. Big life event happens, project abandoned and sold. Never ran while I owned it. 

#7 2000 Ducati 996

# 8 1974ish Ducati 750GT  

#9, 10, 10.5 bought at the same time, both 1966 Ducati Monzas, one is a Jr.  10.5 is being built from leftover parts from these projects

#12  1997 Ducati 900ss/sp

#13  2011(?) Ducati 796 Hypermotard

#14  2015 Ducati Monster 1200S

#15  1991 Ducati 851 My dream bike back in 1991. 

#16  2003 Aprilia RSV Mille R  Currently being set up for track use

#17  2020 Moto Guzzi V85 TT

I'm thinking I missed one or two but that's the gist of it. For a lot of years I kept around 7 bikes around the house but now only 15-17 are left, along with two of the Ducati project bikes. And the Aprilia will be for sale in the spring. 

If I had it to do over again, I'd probably have sold my 851 and kept the 996, but so be it.

Here's my 76 shot @Skippy......taken in Babbacombe as I was touring the south of England.

Had my fucking miserable first wife with me who complained all week about everything.

No.....there was also her laziness, her bad personal hygiene, and generally being a fucking mental bitch.

(talk about being smooth...)

I would like you to write stuff about your life, seems like it'd make some great reading. Also, amazing high school bike.

what is the red/white one with the tank bag ?

My '81/'82 XJ550 Seca....rode  this bike everyday, year-round, for 13 yrs.

Scariest moment I've ever had on a bike was when I rode this beast through an earthquake.....tapped out, 6th gear, doin' about a buck & a quarter on the way to work one morning.

I loved the entire Seca Series.

Owned the 400.

Also owned the other 550 the XZ550 Vision.
Now that was a bike ahead of the times!

I loved my 400 Seca.....rode it for 45k miles before I traded it in for the 1st of (3) 550's I went through.

Always was intrigued by the trailing front axle of the 550 Vision....?

I've still got the 2 Kawasaki ZRX 1200 s, the red ZRX I've had for nearly 20 years, a bikes before this lot, but we didn't take many photos in the sixties early 70s.

I loved all of these bikes except the Yamaha XS 750, that pile of shit tried to kill me.
