The Bikes of Yesteryear

I got to thinking about how many bikes I've owned over the years, and it's not as many as I wish I could brag about.  10, maybe?  Let's find out:

  • 1985 Suzuki 400
  • 1981 Honda CB750
  • 1983 Honda CB750
  • 1974 Honda CB450
  • 1973 Honda CL350
  • 1971 Honda CL175
  • 2003 Genuine Stella
  • 2008 Genuine Stella
  • 1979 Yamaha XS650
  • 1964 Lambretta Li175
  • 1981 Vespa 150 (for a week)
  • 1967 BSA A50

I'm probably forgetting one somewhere, but it's a pretty good list.  Respectable.  That's twelve, if you count the Vespa.  And I did own a pretty sweet '67 Firebird 400 for a few years, so that's not too shabby.



Most impressive is obviously the BSA, followed by the Lambretta (for sale) and then a tie between the CB450 and the CL350.  Both stock, beautiful shape.

I did get to spend the evening cleaning my garage, which is long overdue, but it's starting to become a good work space again.  And, it's always a struggle to find a balance between working/paying for the house and the bikes.  Bleh.
