Getting this T-Dub having been away from 2 wheels for so long & joining the forum got me to thinking last night about all the bikes I've owned in the past. I wish i had photos of them, but I was never one for snapping pics. I have a couple that were the product of phone cameras getting invented, but nothing before & that's a damn shame.
I figured I'd list everything I've had over the years & I'd be really interested to see what everyone else has had!

1984 Suzuki ZR50 slk
1987 Suzuki TS50X
Vespa 125 (don't remember the year or model)
1983 Suzuki GP100
1982,1984,1985 Honda CB250N
1981 Honda CM200
1977 Honda CB175
1975 Honda CB360
1987 Suzuki GS550 standard then chopped
1988 Suzuki GS750 (Later a 750/850 conversion streetfighter)
1988 Suzuki Streetfighter 1100 (same bike as above with a GSXR1100 motor)

never owned a modern bike, always loved bikes, my father would have never bought me and my brother any motorcycle.

always loved building things, i think i enjoy the time spent in the garage wrenching way more than actually riding the bikes

first bike is 1980 Yamaha rd400g got it on 2013 took 8 years to complete, finally finished it on 2021 this is my "daily" rider (only if its sunny outside) this bike was the one that started the whole restoration journey.... this rd's where police bikes back in the day.

second bike 1972 Honda cb750k2 bought on the pandemic on 2020, in really bad state, they are extremely rare here in Colombia, made it functional, still restoring it and riding.

third bike 1987 honda tr200 fatcat got it on 2021, completed it in 3 months and this is probably the one that gets ridden the most on my dad's farm, (here i started searching for either a TW or another FATCAT)

on 2022 i got a basket case 1993 ducati 907ie this has been a pain in the butt to get parts for, i probably have 80% of the bike, right now sits in pieces, but have to finish it.

and last but not least: this Saturday my 1990 TW200 got delivered, i only know of two others in the entire country since Yamaha never imported them to Colombia had been looking for one since 2021, its a mess but will make it rise form the ashes.

That's a seriously impressive amount of work, considering where you are & how difficult it is to find parts. Wow!
I did have a little chuckle in your other post regarding importing the TW from Miami to Colombia. I thought imports usually went the other way! 😄🤧

You serious haha? I actually rode with a guy quite a bit who owned one of those; that was at least ten or twelve years ago. I don't recall if it was quite mint/pristine or not, but I do remember it being in at least very good to excellent condition. It was fun to ride, too.
