Firko, It's a roof over my head. I am lucky to live where I do for sure. If I were even allowed to sell I would build my dream shed, have my own track and have a bike for every day of the year. I said my wife is "somewhat" understanding. She and my kid have their own agenda so we live near the beach. I accept what I can get and no hassles for going off racing and spending money (within reason) on bikes with no bitching makes for a minimal stress home life. Note: see new post....Seperation Sale. I've heard of these before

Ok well I have 10 but 11 if I were to include my little bro's kx80 which he won't ride :( one crash is all it takes some people he just doesn't get it I spose it isn't his thing all my life I have been waiting to ride that pe400 that was in the shed or under a tree.

I have 5 pe's one is a 250 the others 400's but they are the one bike I love if I could only have one sort I'd have as many as I can of those PE400's and if one comes up at a reasonable price I can't help myself I am one short to have one set for motocross I have three to do up original a spare that is going to be a registered enduro beast. I can see my self easily having 20 PE's in the not to distant future.

Rusty when you do your clean up make sure to PM me ;)

I had a cull a couple of years ago and got down to under 40, but I think they must breed as the the number is back up over 50 again. There are a couple more in the pipeline, possibly an early model AG175 Yamaha this weekend, plus an IT175, some AG100s and Dt100s that I just have to get time to go and pickup.

Currently there are 13 assorted XT/TT/SR500 Yamaha, plus about 6 or so early 70's 2 stoke Yamaha trailies, a dozen or so 1960/early 1970's Hondas, a coulpe of Bultaco Sherpas, 2 Cossacks and an assortment of other mainly japanses dirt dikes.

Perhaps I will give the 400x a go because it is something special motor wise. ;)

I rode Harvey Birdmans PE400 at Connondale a few years back. It hooked up better out of the corners and was every bit as quick as my RM400 maybe even a little quicker ;)

motor is good and Suzuki had the chassis well worked out, standard shocks were ugly even from day 1. I had T and X, both good.
