yeh I do have a good collection of bikes - but the difference is mine get ridden.

That upper-class twat is not the steam off a bikers piss. Wankers like him think they are motorcyclists - but they are just millionaire wannabes.

They make me sick. The only redeeming feature of that video, is that no Kawasakis are in his collection - moldering.

:roll:

Hmmm not sure I agree with you Gos. He might be an upper class wanker but he races bikes and cars do from my end of things I think that's a massive plus.

Yes if he never rode any I would agree but at least one bike in that collection was his original race bike.

Hey Gos there may not be any Kawaski's in that collection, but I think there's a lot of green happening in your comments.
I say good on him, it is after all his money to spend as he wants. Wish I had half that collection!!!!
Used to have 2 of the bikes in his collection, so does that write me off because I've owned a couple of Dukes???

does he ? None of those bikes looked like they had turned a wheel in anger for sometime........if he races one of his 40 or 50 cars every now and then well.......good on him.

of course there is a lot of green in my comments ! I can't help bleeding green blood ;) not jealous at all, I have almost 30 bikes in my own collection so no issues with having a lot of bikes. Nobody was talking about writing anybody off because they may have had the misfortune to own a couple of Ducks in their time..........some people trip over their own feet, can't be helped :lol:

There is a bloke in Surrey who has about 75 bikes in his underground garage. Most of them are old Kawasakis. H2's, Z1's etc, I think he is a wanker too for just storing all these great bikes and not riding them. I don't only hold contempt for Ducati museum owners ......

cheers Philbo ;)

So Gos your trying to tell us that you ride all your bikes on a daily basis??? Misfortune on owning a Ducati, if only you knew what your missing out on! Your misguided choice I guess............

Bejeezus...where are his SS's,GT's,GTS's,S's,Darmah's,Pantah's etc etc?? Apart from the MHR,they are all modern 'stuff',though I 'spose the 851 & 888 are sorta on the cusp.
Hey Fred...where and the hell does Gos actually SAY that he rides all his bikes every day??? Exactly!!! He does'nt!!! Fred,your not a duck ,your a goose.
There are a couple of Dukes I would'nt mind having,but there are are too many Team Green Machines ( and other Jappery) to be had yet.

And a Laverda 3CL..... hat36.gif

Very nice collection .

I have more than one and know of a few that do have quality collectable machines.
I am asked often why so many bikes? because I can and why not ;)
It depends on your commitment and love of motorcycles.

it has always been about riding and the feeling of freedom no matter what or how many you have.

Enjoy or be obsessed or both :kuda:

Best bit of advice I was ever give was by a mate in the US......."son, always have more than one motorcycle"

I am surprised that Fred hasnt heard of "the Gosling principal" that is where you aquire more bikes but never sell them...........I have seen the 4th Dimension, there is enough stuff to build many motorcycles in there. :kuda:

I have introduced Leanne to the Gosling principal and she is now a convert. ;) :kuda: Now we need to find somewhere with a big enough garage to keep them.

3 years ago when I met Nelso I had no motorbikes. Now I have 4. :)
