Your bike history

Dirt Disciple
I don't know if it's appropriate for this forum (I'm a newbie), but I'm curious to see if people here remember all the bikes they have owned so far... Here's my list...

-red Supercycle tricycle (???)
-green Supercycle bicycle with banana seat (???)
-red Supercycle BMX (1985)
-black Precision mountain bike (1987)
-Specialized Hardrock (1989)
-Specialized Rockhopper (1992, w/ aftermarket Future Shock fork)
-Specialized Rockhopper Comp FS (1993)
-KHS Alite 1000 (1994)
-Softride LX (1994)
-Softride DX (1995)
-Rocky Mountain Hammer Race (1996, w/ aftermarket AMP B-3 fork)
-Gary Fisher Supercaliber (1997)
-Oryx Gold (1998)
-Norco Charger (2003, 2004 model, w/ aftermarket Sid XC fork)
-Norco Sasquatch (2005)
-Norco Six 2 (2006)
-Norco EXC 1.0 (2006, 2006 frame w/ 2005 part package)
-Ritchey P-22 (2010, 1992 model)

I've also used my brother's Devinci Vandal Pro (1994) between 1999 & 2003 and my wife's Norco Kokanee (2006) to finish the 2008 season when my EXC 1.0 was waiting to be fixed.

I raced in 1989, then again from 1993-1998 (Senior Expert 1993-1996 and Elite in 1997 & 1998), then sporadically from 2003-2007 & 2009 (Senior Expert & Master Sport). I'd like to race Master Expert next year, not sure it's going to happen with the baby though. :)
