Re: You and your FIRST bike
 

I know, I even had a car at that age, a Ford Anglea van with the back end cut out so that I could carry a load in the fields. I was only a small runt and unable to drive a tractor as I couldn't push the clutch/brake hard enough.

We started with a go kart with a 175 villiers, but it was a pig to pull start for us kids and little ground clearance. The Anglea was ideal, you could get a bale in it, electric start and when that failed a cranking handle

You want to see some of the pics I've got from years ago. They even make me laugh. My mum should have been arrested by the fashion Police for the clothes she made us wear when we were young.

I think I look more handsome Daz ( when I'm looking in the mirror with my glasses off) LMAO :cool:;)

There's my first road bike (Rieju RS2 Matrix 50) just before I sold it, although I had a few motocross bikes before that.

Added the mesh to the fairings and sprayed the exhaust
