@terry_g - another enduro type bike......![]()
I haven't ridden in over 10 years, but does it count if I still have them tucked away in the barn?

Still have the F3, and a Suzuki Bandit 400 I bought for the Wife many years ago. She learned to ride on it, got her M2, then got pregnant with our first and never rode again. I pretty much quit riding/racing around then too as life got in the way.
I'll have a hard time parting with the bandit, but next year I'd like to go through it, get it back on the road for a bit, then sell it for a Dual sport. KLR650, or something similar. I want to ride again, but have zero interest in riding on the street anymore. Then again, I've said that for the past few years now so.....
Wow, you have a bike cave!My newest is a 2023 BMW R1250RT 719 Edition.

This shows the entire fleet including the 2008 K1200GT that I sold after bringing the RT home this spring. The one up on the shelf is my 94 BMW R1100RS which I got back in trade. I owned it previously for many years and rode it across Canada and half the US. I had sold it to my brother-in-law when I bought the GT and got it back when he took the GT. I haven't made plans for what to eventually do with it yet, but the bike has a lot of memories for me, so I'm keeping it for now. It needs a bit of work to fix some minor issues but it's pretty good for a 30 year old bike with 160K on it. I may put a collector plate on it just so I can get it out occasionally once it's sorted again. Also tucked in at the back is my wife's 2008 BMW F800ST.

Nice bikes. One of the guys I used to race with had an 1100gs with 180,000km that he'd just traded for a 1200gs before he passed away. What a comfy couch of a mile eater bike that was. We were always tossing around ideas for an Alaska trip with a couple other guys but just never got around to committing. I'd love to make that trip someday.My newest is a 2023 BMW R1250RT 719 Edition.

A bike (or 2) in the barn is much better than empty space & wishful thinking LOL! There’s always time.
I often thought racing a bike would be fun but couldn’t get past the risk/reward of it so I settled for dirt biking and race cars. Full respect for you going out and doing it, especially with that checkered flag in hand!
