What bikes have you owned?

Bored... So, come on, list what bikes you've had, how/why you parted
with them and how long you had them. oh, and do tell about all the
crashes.

 

What are these "bikes" of which you speak?

 

Dont know either, but i once had a Raleigh Chopper if that counts.

Specialized Stumpjumper - more crashes than you can possibly imagine. Great
fun too.

 

Lots of bikes, some crashes.

I await Lozzo's 750-page report with anticipation.
