Who else is into bikes?

I'm as much a bike geek as I'm a audio nerd. I've had a bunch of bikes and always regret it when I sell one, so I've promised myself never to sell a bike again. :)

At the moment I have a 2006 Honda CBR600RR track bike, ex Swedish supersport racer, and a 1983 Yamaha RD350 ypvs. The Yamaha is in pieces at the moment. One of the pistons seized so I'm taking this opportunity to level up to 400cc and do a full restoration.

I'm looking for a good dirtbike, haven't had one of those since I was a teenager.

First bike was a 68 ? 350 Yamaha ,1977 I believe, Yamaha rd400d,plus a 70 bsa lighting chopper,and my favorite the bike in my avatar a 81 kz1300 but I had 6 into 1 headers.There were several more bikes along the way but due to 2 knee replacements a a young age and a back that now likes to go out at the wrong sneeze ive limited myself to this little terror.

I love the six cylinder bikes, especially the bug eyed Laverda V6.

My wife takes x-rays for a living.... Thank you all for her job security! She says easily 60% of her "business" is motorcycle injuries... So in a way you all are even supporting my audio habit... ;)
 
From the mid-`60s thru the `80s, had a number of bikes....my first was a Yamaha 250 Big Bear Scrambler, then a 900 cc Sporty XLCH, a BSA Lightning, a Norton Commando (the Britbikes taught me about the evils of Lucas electrics, Whitworth threads, etc.), a Kawi KZ-1000, a Honda CBX, and a H-D Road King.
 
2008 Kawasaki Vulcan 2000 and 1996 Suzuki RF900. Contemplating adding something else too...but torn on just what, if anything.
 
My shed toys include:

Honda VTX 1800c - 2002 - 15,000kms

and Honda CBR 1000r - 1991 - 71,000kms

Australia, I don't think has the same motorcycle culture the US has, shame really.
 
2015 CBR1000RR ABS--probably the last crotch rocket I'll buy--getting too old for these things, but I still love them on a twisty country road.
 
Nothing fancy, but a fun, economical way to get into bikes. I paid a dollar per cc and am learning to turn wrenches.IMG_20160430_190636.jpg
