Drifting
Suzuki, SV650S - it's the 'girls' bike (daughter and wife), but I take it out when they are out shopping (shhhh...) and even have to mark the spot on the floor when I bring it back so they don't notice...

Race Car
No longer an owner of bikes. My last one was:
'01 GSXR 1000 - Penske shock and Racetech sprung / valved forks. Made ~165hp at the rear wheel when all was said and done but really enjoyed the twisties more than anything.
Crashed at Mid Ohio during my last day to get licensed to race, messed up my left shoulder bad enough to give up bikes in favor of 4 wheeled track enjoyment. Nothing has ever given me the rush of a bike at the track. Cars are less intense but much more "fun".

My first bike, 1987 Yamaha YSR50. I learned how to ride on it, used it as a pit bike at my father's races, then raced it myself from 1999 until the end of the 2006 season.
It now sits in the basement
My first street bike, a 2002 Yamaha R6. I bought it new in '02 and sold it a year later to help pay for an engagement ring.
During my break from the street I continued racing the YSR and also took delivery of a 2004 Honda NSR50 which I continue to race to this day (and will do so tomorrow actually)
Then I picked up a Honda RS125 to start racing on large tracks. I still race this one as well.
After five years off the street I finally I decided I was ready again, so I picked up a Ducati 748/853
But then I realized how much better I like the track so I sold the Duc and bought a silly CB350
I'm going to turn it into a cafe racer-type thing with the help of these
Last summer I surprised my wife with a 250, she loves it
Action shots
YSR
NSR
RS125 (T1 at Mid-Ohio)

Lol! Just realized this picture was taken before I got my eyes lasered!
Anyway...
First pic is stock, then added a Yosh exhaust and snubbed the rear fender. Fun bike, but it's for sale now. Don't need the P-car and a bike, P-car is too much fun.

Current bikes . . . .
1973 MZ TS150, East German relic, 2-stroke fun;
1982 BMW R65, my first BMW and I can't seem to let it go;
1994 BMW R1100RS, go-to bike, 80k & counting;
1995 KTM RXC400, dual sport, see a lot of activity lately;
2002 Triumph TT600, 12k street miles, then converted to track use;
2004 Husqvarna SM450R, unbelievable fun, sharp short-track weapon.
Over the years owned other BMWs, Hondas and a Suzuki
