I got my first non-kid bike in 1982: a Univega Gran Turismo. I wish I still had it. In 1986, I got my first racing bike, a Fuji something-or-the-other. It was stolen that same year. In 1986 I bought my first mountain bike, a Specialized Stumpjumper Sport. I still have it! In 1987, I bought my second racing bike in 1987: Centurion Facet. I rode and raced that for several years. I sold it and bought a beautiful Vitus racing bike that I rode until 2003. The frame cracked in the Horrible Crash.
In 1989, I bought my second mountain bike: a Bridgestone MB2. I had it until 1999 when i left it behind when I moved from Overseas.
I rode the Vitus and the Stumpjumper all through the 1990s and into the 2000s. In 2003, I bought a Jamis Coda Comp and retired my Stumpjumper from commuting duties. In 2003, I had the Horrible Crash and the Vitus bit the dust. I only rode the Jamis for the next two years, and only for commuting.
In 2005, I bought my beloved Luna. Still riding it, of course.
In 2008, I bought my Bike Friday Pocket Rocket Pro. Still riding that, too.
I have not bought any other bikes since 2008. I have all that I need and want.
