I have started a new sub-forum where members can post up photos of their other non-TTR machines.
I have had a quick look through and moved a few threads into it and found this one but, note to Terry, some photo links have broken and need repair please?
Let me know the Subject heading of any other threads that need moving into the new sub-forum please
Over the last 20 years I've had: two ZX6Rs, two GS1200s, one DR650, a KLR650, an FJR1300, GSX1400, ZX12R, Harley Street Bob, Aprilia RSV Mille, XJ750, SRV250 (my first bike!), VFR800 and a few others I can't recall. Mostly one at a time but sometimes there is some cross over Kids and a big mortgage mean only the one bike now. I love small bore bikes though and am looking to get a sky team ace 125 to sit beside the TTR. We will see....
2 TTRs, one black, one white, +
1 Montesa 315 trials bike that I should be riding more often, +
1 Yamaha TDM850 - the road bike, +
1 XR400 supermoto with e start conversion that runs ok but needs some love, and I'm not sure I like it but I've thought about one for a while and you don't see them very often so I had to take the opportunity when it arose

A XR75. Pic of me 40 years ago. Think i just washed the bike after a race meeting.
It was a flat track. Just west of Brisbane. Trail blazers. When these XR 75s hit
australia they ruled for 12 months or so untill the YZ 80 Yamahas arrived.
Cool! My younger brother got a brand new YZ80 in 1974, first bike of his own, which I "sold" last year with a 2001 YZ80 ("sold" as in "you have to take the '74 if you buy the '01"), hopefully some kid is once again tearing it up.
Just wanted to say all you guys with more than one bike are deadset bastards
I'm dreaming of a black t120 bonneville with dominator touring pipes, heidenau k60 rubber and dirt bike bars.... Maybe one day
Took me a bloody long time to build up to four bikes & a certain amount of planning to get it past the wife i.e.
2006 me to wife "I want to get fit & need a dirt bike" got the XR400RC
2008 me to wife "need to get another bike so Sean (my son) can come riding & you could ride it to XT250, now sold
2008 Me to wife "want to get a road bike as the dirt is getting harder to find places to ride, only want a Triumph & you can come along as well Triumph Scrambler
2012 Me to wife "want a Triumph Thruxton, love the look & yes I have a Thruxton
2013 Wife to me "why don't you sell the XT & XR & get a new bike with electric start TTR new, XT & XR sold
2016 me to wife "might sell the Thruxton & get a new dirt bike" wife said "you don't want to sell the Thruxton, just get the new bike & sell the TTR " New WRR
2016 me to wife "might take the TTR to the Flinders, didn't want to give it away & don't want to damage the WRR
Xmas 2016 wife said ÿou can keep the TTR" plan worked a treat
