Since the POM's put his up there I may as well put mine up there!
I'm a 1961 model myself
Most of my life I have spent doing enduros and hare scrambles in the Vic series but now since I have changed over to motocross and found it much easier on the body than spending a whole day floggin round the bush for hours on end.  These three lap motos are like a holiday compared to a non-stop three hour hare scramble...  The body ain't what it used to be.
Here we go... (in ownership order)
Kawasaki 75
DT250 2
PE175N *
IT250J
KDX200
KTM250
DR350
RMX250
KTM300
ATK250 1997
Husaberg 350
Husaberg 400
KD80 *
RM400C *
RM250E
CR250 2003
Husky TE450 2005
Husaberg 450 *
RM370B *
RM400N *
RM125N
RM250D *
* = still own and ride!
All these bikes were owned and ridden, not just eye-candy in the garage.
I'm sure there's many of you guys who have more than this - but makes for interesting reading to see what everyone has.
(and yellow is my favourite colour)
