Flippin' Norah, Ken!....

I spot my old 1948, 998cc Vincent HRD Rapide (OHA 630) amongst that collection!
I purchased it, private sale, in the 1960's, for £100. Rode it solo, and also with a 4-seater Busmar Sidecar attached, for all the family outings to the sea-side!
The most troublesome bike out of all my many other bikes! Impossible to kick-start (magneto), and lots of serious mechanical failures!
Sold it as a basket case in 1992 to buy my new 1992 Honda CBR 600 FM Supersport...which got stolen!
In the Hangar:
1994 Honda CB500R 4-stroke twin.
1984/1993 Yamaha RXS 100 2-stroke.
1974 Yamaha FS1M 50cc 2-stroke.
...and a desperate yearning for a Cruiser!
