If you had unlimited funds, but only space for 4 bikes, which 4 would be included in your collection? (excluding your monster of course)

Mine would be:
A Vincent HRD Black Shadow

A 1975 Ducati 900SS in blue & silver (the first Ducati I ever rode)

A MV Agusta 750 four circa 1975, the road bikes were just so rare (I saw Phil Read & Agostini ride MV's at Cadwell, you didn't so much see them as feel them in the pit of your stomach) when all the other bikes were Jap 2 strokes.

A Laverda Jota in orange (I always wanted one)

2. Bevel drive 750ss Ducati - original model

3. Kawasaki H1B 500 triple

4. Triumph 650 Bonnie - maybe as a Triton cafe racer
