In amoungst my collection of 50 odd bikes, I still have my first bike, Kaswasaki KT250A bought new in 1975, now looking very tired and trashed in the back of the shed awaiting time and money to restore and my third bike 1978 Husky 390AMX which I have resently got going again after 30 years in bits. There is also my 1979 350 Bultaco Sherpa that was my 21st present from my parents and quite a few other bike that I have had for 30 years or more. It is actually a rare event for my to get rid of a bike, although I sold off a lot of my 1960's hondas and my 1969 650 Triumph to finance the ongoing work on the some of my other bikes. A few years ago, I almost bought back my 2nd bike, a 1977 Yamaha IT250D which I traded in on the Husky. I saw the remains of it in the yard of a mate who runs a small wrecking business and was so tempted to buy it back, but passed it up as a lost cause. Having though of it though, I might have to check if it is still there next time I pay him a visit.
