I have been riding since 1966. Last time I looked, there were 22 motorcycles out back. I have some others at remote locations. Several BMWs, four Suzukis, a couple of CZs, a Puch, a Jawa, an MZ, just one Guzzi, one Triumph (several of those have left), a few Hondas, a Kawasaki, a KTM, and my most recent, a Cagiva 650 Alazzura SS, a kind of a poor man's Ducati. I have owned a few Yamahas, but don't have any now. My only bevel-drive Ducati has gone down the road.

The coolest bike I ever owned was a BSA DBD34 Gold Star; I wasn't nearly cool enough for that bike, but I rode it anyway. I wish I had picked it up 20 years later, when my mechanical skills were more developed.

I have done a bit of road racing, vintage MX, and vintage trials, but I am mostly a touring, commuting and recreational rider. Weekends I ride in the coulee country of western Wisconsin. My other favorite venues are the Black Hills, the Copper Canyon area of Chihuahua, and the western states, especially Wyoming, Colorado and Utah. I usually do a few BMW rallies and dual-sport rallies a year, and visit the Black Hills for Rally Week. I'll be going out there next weekend for a couple of days of dual sport explorations in the Hills.

You could say I am a motorbike junkie.
 
2004 HD "geezer glide". I am restoring a 68 Triumph Bonneville. I have done a couple of others, 70 Norton Commando, A-10 BSA. Been riding since 68. I have 2 trips planned for this fall. I guess I'm getting old as the "Texas Heat" is getting harder to ride in.
 
2008 Suzuki DL650 VStrom for my one up rides.

2004 Honda VTX1300....with screen and Cobra pipes. It's my longest lasting mid-life crisis.
 
2003 Honda CBR1100XX bought new in 04. Although I don't get to take as many trips on it as I used to.
 
I've got a 1999 HD FLHRCI (Road King Classic) bought new back in 99', a 1978 Triumph Bonneville 750cc, and when out in the woods I've got a Kawi 350cc... Been riding motorcycles since I was 5 years old. Got my first HD in 1986, a 1974 kick start, shovel head Sportster. Harleys have come a long way...
