Hey, what's in THIS room? OOOOOOOH, BIKES! Me like bikes!
I'm Jason (JEB), I've lurked on the HAMB for years, here's my intro over there: http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?p=713308#post713308
I've got about twelve old japanese bikes and one lonely old Triumph. My favorite is the GB500TT, it's a little Honda thumper that looks like a Norton or a Matchless and goes like stink. Here's mine in the Dallas Cycle World show last fall:

Besides the GB, I have a 65 Yamaha YGS1T, a 65 Honda CL77 Scrambler, a 69 Yamaha CT-1 vintage MXer, a 71 Yamaha R5, a 74 Honda CB750K4, a 74 Suzuki TS250 and a bunch of old Honda XL/XR dirtbikes.
Oh yeah, and the Triumph. It's a 1971 frame, stripped down and rusty as hell. The motor was taken apart in the seventies, so it's gonna need a fresh crank and a full rebuild. Here's some OIF inspiration:

I got the pic from egay, it's the only OIF Triumph I've seen that looks right with a hardtail. If you have any other OIF pics, send em my way.
So anyway that's me, a little heavy on the japanese stuff, but I hope we can all get along here. Doesn't matter what you ride as long as you're ridin. If you're in the DFW area, send me a PM and we'll go for a spin.
