This brief history is my way of recording my memories of events, vehicles and various adventures and misadventures during a long, sometimes impoverished, motoring life. It does not pretend to tell the story of all the motorcycles ridden or cars driven, many of which have been better than my own. These tales are merely about the ones I have actually owned.There have been many others which I would like to have owned but, regrettably, was not in a position to do so.
