Its very difficult to know where to start as many of my bikes are not built up or complete - and in any case I really am more interested in some of the parts rather than complete bikes - and my collection is spread across a garage, loft and a storage unit rented in the basement of the old Douglas motorcycle factory. So we'll kick off with the complete (or near) machines starting oldest first (and others I can remember) ... I will keep within the CR list dateline as adding the others since would increase the number somewhat... And I've not included Keir's either...
