Nervous new owner

[Bryn]

5 years 3 months, 14 days and 50,300 miles.
Still loving it but not riding it anywhere near as much as when I was commuting 60 Miles each way every day.
I bought it to keep. I feel sorry for the "replace it every 3 years" brigade as they will never really get attached to their machine.
"Vivian" is a family member, along with her stablemate, my 170,000 mile GTR1000 "Otto".
Here's to the next 5 years and more!

Can you send me some of what you're drinking ..... I've had over 80 bikes since I was 17 

[O.C.]

That's just greedy  :

A quick count up and I reckon I've had just over 30 since about 1993....when I was definitely older than 17

I had had over 10 bikes before I was 17.
I used to buy ratty old FS1Es and SS50s and tart them up, tune them a little and then flog them on.
Worked so well for me that I eventually bought a brand new RD50E with the proceeds.
In total I've had about 30 bikes in the last 35 years.

Since 1993 I have owned 4 bikes.
Sanji (GTR1000) 1993 to 2005
Otto (GTR1000)  2002 to date
Ethel (GTR1000)  2005 to 2008
Vivian (1400GTR)  2007 to date

EIGHTY BIKES?!!   

If you are 57 years old, you need to buy 2 a year.... What do you have to smoke to be able to average that over 40 years???

Presumably you have to sell them too because the expense of garaging such a hourde would require a job such as CEO of Google!

Maybe you are over 80....

That's incredible!  I've had 3

Not quite 80 Ros   ( 51)   

I think I just get bored very quickly with what's sitting in the garage .. Saying that I'm now 3 months into owning the GTR and I'm still loving it .... which for me is a big deal
