What makes this blokes collection even harder for me to like is that it's largely comprised of beige, uninteresting bikes. They're almost all 'dime a dozen' fodder.
'68 Yamaha DT1 enduro, '69 Yamaha 'DT1 from Hell' '69 DT1'Dunger from Hell, '69 Cheney Yamaha 360, 70 Maico 350 (2 off), '68 Hindall Ducati 250, Hindall RT2MX, Hindall YZ250a , Cycle Factory RT2MX flat tracker, Yamaha 1T250J, Maico 250 trials, '71, Boyd and Stellings TM400, Shell OW72,750 Yamaha

Harsh comment Firko, But true at least 90% are dime a dozen, i Must say they are quite well looked after and clean though...
Wives usually give up counting once it gets over 5 bikes...

I may not agree with what you have to say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it.

I'd love the little gt1 and whatever rz that is, might be a bit bland but it is all a taste thing I'd love if my shed was just pe400's I'd be happy but it is actually a bit hard to get a heap of the same bike sometimes.

There is a guy near me who was a tonne of volvo's and you just think why but he must love them so good on him doesn't matter what others think of your collection as long as you are happy with it.

I'd have to agree with Tim there!!

I had my MRS's window cleaner (Irish bloke) go into the shed to get the ladder one day, came upstairs in front of the MRS while we were having breakie & said Brad! "Iv'e just gone down into the shed to borrow your ladder"! "You have 17 bikes in the shed"!"17 bikes"!! "I don't beleive it, what you going to do with 17 bikes!" Can you imagine how felt in front of her & the way I looked at him >:(?? She turned around & said I have been counting each & everyone for years now! I know exactly what's in that shed! Well fark me.....

I understand what you are saying Ando, My Missus girlfriend visited and counted 7 one day, my missus answered "There is another one sitting on the bar in the rumpus room". Comes back to early days training. On about our fifth date i popped into a bike shop in Parramatta and put a deposit on a Dyna Lowrider which was advertised as a superglide and therefore underpriced.
