Can't compete - had an Aerial Leader 250 and a C15 250 BSA in the late 1960's when I was 16, also a Vespa 125 Scooter..but gave up biking at early stage having discovered fags, booze and women. Fortunate to ride (and threw some up the road!!) loads of my brother's bikes (including a Royal Enfield Turbo Twin, Suzuki 550, Suzuki Kettle, Lambretta 200 scooter, BSA A65, and a Triumph triple) - but didn't have anything of my own for about 20 years and then had an NS125 Honda for 6 months and promptly gave up again for another 20 years until I had a GSX650F suzuki from new followed shortly after by a new GSX1250 which I had for 14 months before chopping it for the CR 12 months ago.
