It's 17 in the UK mate, at least it used to be - not sure if it's changed?

Age 50

M15 (its a Suzuki)
Casal 50 (damn moped law came in)
Yamaha YB80 (replaced Casal, which was killed by a Taxi, whilst waiting of insurance money)
Yamaha YAS1 125 2-stroke twin, first thing I began seriously tuning. ETC13J, probably long broken up.
T250 Crooks Suzuki, one of only 5 made to race at the TT. Spare bike so wasn't used as Barry bottled it. Converted for road use, as quick as a Kwack 500 and handled miles better. SEO732M where are you now?
GT500 Terry Shepherd Suzuki. Awesome performance, awful fuel consumption on a par with a GTR! Killed it by over revving, only did it the once.
GT550 Triple Suzuki. Too wide, too heavy, dropped it lots and blew two engines.
GT750 Triple Suzuki (three of them). A bit heavy but went well and could be made to handle, sort of. Still got two in garage.
Ford Cortina 1500 Mk 1 - first car. Parked at speed into corner of school bike shed wall and wrote it off.
Singer Gazelle 1750 - Fell apart with rust.
Triumph Herald 997 with twin solex carbs. Snapped chassis in half over hump back bridge, suspect the four girls in the back didn't help weight distribution but where excellent on the eye.
Part shared in a Honda CB250 with someone. Cost 70quid as not running, I fixed the bike, my mate gave it a good cleaning as he was good at that and we sold it for 275quid.
Honda Z60 - car with 600cc twin air cooled engine, double overhead cam. After a lot of fiddling could get 80mph out of it. Only replaced the engine once..............
Ford Cortina Mk3. Started as 1300, replaced engine with a 1600 out of a stock car, went much better then. Sold with arrival of Company car!
GSX250 Suzuki 4 stroke twin. Nice package, just too slow as it was flat out at around 85. Great for hacking around on.
1100 Suzuki came next. The definitive UJM. Loved my 2 strokes, still do for the noise, but this bike accelerated like nothing before and was like sitting on a frequently unguided missile.
I'm not listing the Company cars, too many and all rep mobiles.
When Company car life ended was given a metro to temporarily run around in. What a dog............ but it was free so got my money's worth!
Traded up to a Mercedes 300 Estate, 6 pot auto. Big, heavy, boring, reminded me of driving a panzer up the road. However, circumstances dictated it was the car required at that time.
Had sold the 1100 Suzuki, so bought a 1000 Suzuki instead.
Finally ditched Merc and got a Mitsubishi GTO in the early 90's, wanted a GTR however they where silly money. Loved the car but almost impossible to tune, even service, as no one knew very much about them. Did a 360 on a flooded country road late one night, clipped a tree and the insurers wrote it off.
Don't laugh, bought an Omega as a temporary replacement.
Then bought the R32 straight out of Japan and used that as my daily drive for a couple of years before eventually buying the Omega back again for the daily run to the office. It was written off when someone rear ended me.
Then bought the Garage Bomber R33 (yes I've got a 32 and a 33).
Last purchase has been my doggy Golf Diesel for the run into the office.
I think that's about it.

See, you lot are hardly trying. Pug 306's indeed, you'll tell me you rode a Lambretta next.................
