Christ... don't show this to the wife.. she'll know where all the missing holidays went

Wow reading the above posts make me feel so much better about the number of bikes I have spent money on! You guys far far out do me on this!

Very similar to pete899 - if my wife had a clue about my spend or value of current bikes - I would be a dead man walking.

So here we go - did a 5 day direct access course back in '91 at Metropolis in London, passed straightaway and thought I was the dogs bollocks, so went out did this....

1. Bought a Yamaha R6 the day I passed, had no idea what trouble it could get in me into, was then caught speeding at a ridiculous speed and subsequently banned and had to pay £1000 fine.
2. Post ban moved to Holland for a year and started riding again, bought a cool Honda VFR400 (NC-30) and loved every second of it.
3. Moved back to the UK and then moved onto a Ducati Monster
4. Traded in the Monster for a Street Triple R
5. Bored of the Street Triple R and then weirdly went for a Honda VFR1200
6. Bored of that too so then went for a 2010 Honda HRC Fireblade. First bike I took on track and it blew me away - amazing for road too
7. Bought a Vespa GT 300cc for commuting
8. Too slow, bought a Honda Silverwing for commuting (honestly that scooter/bike can lean at angles some motorbikes cannot)
9. Bought another Street Triple R (2013 version) as tested it and it felt good, but boring again - why did I not learn this lesson before?
10. 2013 Ducati Diavel (still own and its my road/commute bike)
11. 2013 Ducati 899 (this will be my track weapon)

So I am settled now on Ducati. I love my Diavel and have ridden the 899 home (thats it) and can already tell it is going to be better than my Fireblade on track....

CANT FRIKKIN WAIT....
