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

Surprised they even have helmets. Like the cut your head off numberplate screens and modest crash bars.
Them were the days

1994, Me on my trusty TZR125LF with my sister posing on the back (I'm ignoring the Honda MT-5 I had at 16 because, well, it was a Honda)

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



Here's me on it. Yes those are trainers! Couldn't get my mx boots under the gear lever

Me and my first bike, on a xmas trip to deliver presents to my family

I dont have a pic with me, but here is my first bike
