I realize this is an ancient thread. We have similarities, I turned 61 yesterday and also
bought a Bridgestone 90 Sport (from my dad) when I was 16. Had a few dirt bikes, a Ducati 165, a '71 XS650 in '72, a '48 Panhead and today still ride a '77 XS650D which I bought new in '78. I haven't had nearly the number of bikes you've had, but have enjoyed the experiences I've had.

72 in a couple months. Riding since I could get a leg over. Too many bikes to list but if it sounded like a good idea I tried it. Spent the seventies trying to be an observed trials rider but never could be as good as I needed to be. I wouldn't trade the time I've spent on bikes for anything else that I can think of. Still riding, still loving it.

50 this year, and my Dad helped my buy my first enduro at 15. Rode it to school in the 9th grade. I was the shit back then, (or at least I thought I was). Now I know I never was, but still love these old bikes. My current XS is older than my first bike, and I'm having just as much fun today!
