Re: a tug at the heart strings
This was mine, yamaha DT50 but in red.
 Bought this off a guy at college in 1987, he actually showed me how to ride it on the edge of a railway siding. It was used off road, but had the v5 and only needed a couple of small things for a MOT. Brilliant bike for wheelies, used to ride it over our local park, used to do jumps, wheelies, big rear brake slides. Had a near miss on wet grass with my mate on the back, we were coming to edge of the park and I braked but it was so wet it just carried on, we ended up in the middle of the busy road, luckily there was a break in traffic. |

Re: a tug at the heart strings
I was seventeen way back in 1976 and not only passed my test on a Honda CB200 but also toured it through France and Spain.
