  3. Hmm, I don't have 5 bikes to add, only took my CBT at 28 in 2013, and owned a White Yamaha YZF R125, which I used for my daily commute and general "tearing" about, I use the term loosely as the bike wasn't exactly quick! Then June 2015 did my full test on a Suzuki Bandit, and to help "encourage" I purchased my 1st "big" bike, my Matte Black Ducati 848 in April, which has now gone to the scrap heap in the sky. When my leg is better I'll be hopefully getting my hands on a matte black 1199s!
