Ok... While my list wont be nearly as impressive as just about everyone here, I will contribute anyway.

You did say all bikes, so if memory serves me right;

4-5 Huffy's ( one was chopped with a rad banana seat )
3-4 Schwins
and god knows how many we just threw together from parts lying around.
a St. Tropez 10 speed
a mountain bike
2005 HD SuperGlide FXDCI
2008 HD Fatboy FLSTF

Hows that?

Oh... I forgot my Black Beauty Mini-Bike

1984 Sportster (bought 1984)
1984 FXST (bought 1995)
2005 FXDC (bought 2010)

These are the ones I've considered 'mine' not just bought to turn around and sell again.

Wow, great question. Let's see,

1975 Honda CB500T
1979 Honda CB750K
1980 Honda CB450 4 cyl.
1985 Suzuki SR125
1964 Harley XLCH Sportster
1982 Harley XLH Sportster
2004 Harley FXD Superglide
2004 Harley FLHR Road King

I think that covers it all. Out of all of them, I will not part with the Road King, wish I still had my '82 Sporty and the Honda CB 450, that was a fun bike to ride.
