Do you remember your first time?

[Jayneflakes]

It felt slightly dirty, a little bit taboo and then it made me squeal with ecstasy, the chap who took my cherry chatted to me for a while as the heat of my excitement dissipated and then we did it again.

Yeah, my first ever ride on a bike was with a dear friend of mine on the back of his CB250 Super Dream. The bike was slow, heavy and under powered, but it was a bike and we were free to ride where ever we wanted. We clocked up hundreds of miles and even attended a rally together. That was nearly twenty years ago and I had forgotten about it until very recently.

I did something similar for two people I know this weekend, isn't sharing our love of motorcycles amazing? Anway, I blogged about it.

So what was your first time like and how many others have you taken for their first time?

I never thought anyone would ever think of me as "cool", but there you go. Yes I know, they thought the bike was cool, not me.

Don't recall my first time we as kids were all into bikes, field bikes like c50's and Puch Maxi's. We had family and friends that were into bikes.

We liked the group thing.


We also liked denim. Taken with my old Kodak 126mm

Cant remember exactly, was ~10 on a PW50 I think. some of my earliest memories as a toddler are of sitting on a clapped out bmw that my dad had in the back garden going 'vroom, vroom'

Suzuki X7?

Either sitting on the back of a Honda that my dad had bought, or getting a lift home on the back of my mates dad's C90

Oh yes I do. Was 18 sat on the back of my mates hornet 600. 15 journey to a course for work, slow and steady ride about 3pm.
On the way home he told me to hang on, and i did for dear life, screaming back towards B'ham City centre, flat out on to the A38M, he then decided to race a TVR thought the tunnels moving in and out the cars at crazy speed. We got pulled over and the cop was screwing as we filtered rush hour traffic for 4 miles before he caught up with us. Amazing he got a away with a right dressing down in the end.

Looking back my mate was a total tool, thought everyone should/will get out of his way. But a first ride I will never forget.

yes, very clearly and highly embarressing.

It was on the back of a friends Honda and I thought I was amazing, until he told my best friend that I was rubbish.









....clearly needed more practice.

Lol, filth.

First was on the back of my Dads CBX550 four, that was exciting enough, then he got a Daytona 955i with a completely open underseat pipe setup on it. OMG the noiiise! 120mph over the Ogden road before they put all the cameras up, absolutely brutal snarl from this bike and my lid shoved against my face as I was looking over his shoulder watching the world go backwards. And so the addiction began
