OK, I'll play.
1948 Velocette MAC 350cc with Surrey sidecar - bought for £25 in 1969. Followed by an Enfield 350 Bullet, a BSA A7 500cc (ridden to Switzerland and Italy when I was 17), BSA A10 650 Gold Flash, Laverda C3 1000cc triple. Never had a Jap bike. Haven't had a bike for 25 years, but rented an Indian Enfield Bullet when loafing in Goa in 1990. Might get an old BSA A10 for my dotage. I think I could still take one apart blindfolded. Now whether I could put it back together again is a different matter....... :)
 
My first was a Honda 90 which I used to ride along the canal when I was 14.
These are mine now. . .

It's a 1999, but at the moment is on a Q plate. It can be put on a T plate by applying to Kawasaki UK.
Mileage was 34255 at mot on 14/1/04 ( done 50 miles since at most).
Was imported by a mate in 2002 and had 1 owner then.
Am working abroad most of this week, but can leave the key with the other half if you wanted to come and have a look (not far from you).
Need to sell this week as I am moving house on Friday 26/3 and have to pay stamp duty :crazy:
I insure it with Carol Nash for £130 p/a.
