Notice the big break in years there? I took some time off from riding then. About 16 years. I would borrow friends bikes and go for rides during that time, but did not own any of my own. I have had my MC endorsement since I was 13 (New Mexico 125cc license), so I have been licensed for 24 years now, but been riding on a regular basis for only about 8 years of that plus 3 years before that on dirt only without a license.

I long to one day have a collection of every bike I have ever owned.
 
Ah lets see, in order of ownership:

72 Honda XL-100
77 Yamaha YZ-250
79 Yamaha YZ-250
79 Yamaha IT-400
75 Kawasaki KZ-900 rescued from a guy who was going to make a chopper out of it. Bought it in boxes and put it back together with a big bore kit, cams, header, and rejetted carbs. This was my first real street bike. I was 21. Ah the memories!
81 Honda CB-900F. My first new bike.
74 Kawasaki Z1-900 - I liked these bikes!
82- KZ-1100 shaft
75 Suzuki 750 waterbuffalo. Loved the sound of this thing!
75 Yamaha XT-500. Nearly broke my leg learning to start this thing. I think I can start any bike now.
79 Honda CR-250
81 Honda XL-500
92 Suzuki DR-250s
81 YZ-465 - still own and race this one
81 Yamaha XS-850 - great bike, owned it for several years.
74 Husky WR-400 - have 2 of these and still ride em.
79 Suzuki SP-400 - still own

Not to split hairs, but your signature has 2001 MZ, and you are missing 04 wee strom in the list.
 
Let's see:

05 Yamaha FZ6
06 Yamaha FJR1300
06 Triumph Speed Triple
(I had an 02 KLR in my garage for while that wasn't mine that I rode on occasion if that counts :trust: )
07 BMW R1200RT
08 Honda Goldwing

Not bad for less that 4 years of riding. I am not sure if I should be proud of my list of slightly red faced for going through so many bikes in so little time. :doh:
 
Well, I suppose the answer must be 'yes'. It would be if one remembered them all of course. On the other hand, if a bike or two were forgotten, then wouldn't one would still answer 'yes'?
 
After 30 years of riding, I can remember my first street legal bike a 1967 Honda CB90S, my first new bike a 1978 Honda Hawk, my first dirt bike 1980 Yamaha 125 and about the last three years of bikes........cause they are in my signature.:rofl:
 
1978 Suzuki GS750L
1981 Kawasaki KZ750LTD
1985 Yamaha FZ750
1988 Honda Hurricane CBR 1000
1991 Kawasaki ZX-11 Ninja
2004 Honda VTX 1800C
