WHAT WAS YOUR FIRST BIKE?

[jimmock]

BSA Bantam when I was 9

First on the road was an AP50, brand new on HP, followed by my first real bike, a GT 185 - loved that bike, had it for years

I thought we were talking PROPER bikes, not peds.

Well I had a C90 to "run about on" when I was about 13.
I had a 74 Suzuki GT550 I "bought to sell" at the age of 14!!!
Made £120 on that deal!!! (doubled my money!).

Then I had an AP50 (that I bolted foot pegs onto) at 16.
Got THREE endorsements on that wee fucker!!

Then the new XS250 as mentioned earlier.

are we talking when it was legal? i learnt on a c15 then a norton 350 & suzuki super six before acquiring my first legal M***D & it was only a form of transport to get to work then the place i worked for went bust & i was asked to go to one of the first six kawasaki dealers in the uk & stayed there for 34 years

suzuki RM 80 was my first bike

I was brought up with bikes and my old man had around 40 old brits in various states of decay so it's hard to say what was my first one.
The first bike I ever rebuilt myself was a Ducati Ts125 (bevel drive) when I was 11 which I used to dodge the cops on round the local country lanes until the electrics blew.
My first legal road bike was a 250 Enfield Crusader sports which was quickly replaced by an ex race Padgett Yam yds7 after the enfield went bang for the umpteenth time again whilst trying to keep up with my older cousin and his mates on Zed's and Gs1000's etc.
I still have the Enfields piston with snapped conrod and exhaust valve embedded in the crown somewhere from the last engine failure.

H***a CB175, two carb, ran like sh** until the cam chain broke but luckily no valve damage so new chain correct timing went quite nicely 😊
