Hi to all fellow members. With being new to the forum would like to be informed how you all started on the road to be a biker in your youth and what was the first bike you owned.
Mine at the age of 16 (43 years ago) and sorry to say H**** CB160. Purchased for Â£60 and had never rode a bike before. Hence dropped it and bent the footrest. Wish I still had as fetching a lot of wonga. Sorry to say no photo's but do have the memory's.

Suzuki GT125. Went well for the first 20 miles then got slower and slower ! Had a lovely non grippy square section Avon rear tyre which was great for learning bike skid control techniques :roll:
