You and your FIRST bike - Page 4 - SV650.org

27-02-09, 12:00 PM

The first bike I started on was my dad's old Yamaha Jog 50cc scooter (it was pink/red) and it did 33mph, 33!!

But my first bike, that I bought myself, was the Suzuki EN125! Cool bike, cool wheels, but it had nylon tyres and I never changed them (as soon as I was comfortable with the bike, i did my test and got an SV650s).

Great times.

Nor me. A whole lot of my photos got destroyed by damp when I was between houses and storing everything in my sister's garage - it got flooded out and I lost loads of stuff. My mum has some of me on the RD250 and 400 I had at 17 and the KE100 I nearly died on.

Would love to post a picky of me with my first bike but my folks divorced in 76 and both claim the other took all the family photos. Back then I did not own a camera.

Well shame time, the first bike was a blue Garelli moped that I had to straighten the forks on. Once done my dad sold it an bought me a d7 that needed an engine rebuild.

It was a hard life building engines, doing car body swops etc whilst studying for your 11+.

Haha, my son was a Pokemon Grand Master or something like that. I haven't a clue about that kind of thing, but I know that on one weekend visit to my place up north he cleaned out all the local kids of all their cards, and he was only 7 at the time.

He moved on to Warhammer but sold everything up about 2 years ago when he discovered girls.
