Bike 9 Yamaha DT 175, My only dieveeation from Honda, which was a mistake, I wanted a Honda XL185,  (one on ebay aththe moment X plate for £700 Shocked) same style as the Yamaha.  It was a 2 stroke, done 35 mpg and was a pig to start because of low compression.  It was a bucket basicaly, I made it look good but mechanicaly it was rubbish, needed an engine rebuild...............A minor fall of it (Throttle stuck, Dumped me on the road and done a fantastic wheely rider free ) and that was it, I decided no more bikes, next came the mini after having to walk for a year.
Bike 10 Honda Vigor 650, thats what I have today, Beautiful looking in yellow (Have since sprayed the side panels and front mudguard) Got it 2 years ago, still not managed to do the test, but not bothered.  If and when I go back to Ireland the test is much easier there still.

Oh and I built that shed too, out of pallets!   Before someone tells me, I'm better at shed building than bike modifying GrinGrinGrin
So I suppose I have had at least 10 bikes and at the beginning loads of spares!  I bought a C50 when I came here.  Goodness knows why Huh?
Need to get the Vigor to start, it just wont.  Any ideas, because I would like to start it weekly SadSad

I wish I had half your time and energy, never even had enough time to keep 2 cars on the go nevermind the time to buy and sell that many.

Jealous about the shed too, and the Dolomite. Loved them when I was young Grin

I love building something like that shed and other things from timber, so if someone wants a funky shed built out of timber, let me know I might be the man for the job GrinGrinGrin
