2 X VF 414's
VR
H7 250
YZ 465 H
2000 YZ 250
They're all runners and I'm happy to say that I don't have any projects on the go (although I have to bolt some bits to the VR which I just never seem to be able to do!) I want to keep it that way. I'd do up a VE or a VG 414 if I could find one but that's it.
I said a while ago that I want to keep the collection at 6 but I dont think that's gunna happen. If I do buy something it's gunna have to be a finished item..... ;)

I have 3+ bikes......1994 CT110 Postie (local commuter machine), 1974 MX250A (just re built, set up as dirt track racer but will soon also have a spare rear wheel for VMX, making it a bike with 2 purposes) 2000 DRZ400E (set up as dirt tracker but also have spare front and rear MX wheels and Super Moto set up, so is a bike with many purposes...dirt track, grass track, motard, road riding, enduro, trail riding etc). I dream of more bikes but I wake up to myself and realize I wouldn't have time for too many more!

Rideable (or close to it):
'94 TM125E.
'88 XT250.
'88 DT175.
'84 KDX200.
'83 IT175K.

'80 YZ250G.
'80(?) AG100/175 bitsa.
'78 YZ125E.
'78 IT175E/DT175 bitsa.
'78 YZ125/DT175/IT bitsa.
'77 YZ125D
'76 YZ125X.
'75 YZ125C.

'74 YZ125A.
'74 MX100A.

'74 DT125A.
'70 DT1.



Projects:
'89 KTM125GS.
'87 CR125RH.
'83 KDX200.
'81 KLX250.
'80 YZ125G.
'79 YZ125F.

'77 YZ125D.
'77 XL175.

'76 MX125C.
'75 YZ125C.
'74 Monty VR250.
'74 MX250A.

'74 DT250A.
'74 MX125A.
'74 TS185L.

'74 DT100A.
'73 XL175.
'73(?) Kawi F11.
'73 TS185K.
'71 AT1.
'71 RT1.
'64 YDS3.


That's a big list of project bikes, but its not as scary as it seems - most have been started, and some are minor projects (about half of them could be called "almost rideable", but I've called them projects because I plan on doing more than just slapping them back together).

Parts bikes (ie: bikes that are in a million bits, but are mostly complete if I felt the need to reassemble them):
'81 KLX250.
'84 KDX 200.
'73 TS185.
'80 YZ125G.
'79 IT175F.

Red = are/will be raced.
Green = are/will be Vinduro'd
Blue = pretty bikes... Maybe not garage queens, but not really for active duty either...
Anything left over is a trailbike... or I haven't figured out yet...

You all need to get a few sidecars in the sheds. They take up more space and you don't have to have 30+ side stands to hold them up.

Have about 10 VMX bikes and a couple of Harleys, Matchless and Ducati or two.

My fetish is the performance parts, I would sell my sister into a whorehouse for a decent set of Simons forks.

It would take him 3 or 4 days to list whats in his Alladdins cave and then he would forget half of it!. It would be quicker to get the auditors in...... or the Tax man!!! ;D

My collection is small but all quality (Suzuki) machinery
1984 RM125E
1983 RM250D
1983 RM500D (about to be on the water)

Thats it, quality not quantity is my reality, given the two young kids at home that need feeding and watering.

Hey Marc if you didnt keep spending your money on holidays for the trophy wife,you could have had those UDX60's-give yourself a double uppercut! ;)
