first motorcycle you ever rode
first motorcycle you ever rode
Got a wave of nostalgia after a few pints last night and remembered my mate Andy gill teaching me how to ride his hand painted honda 90 ....God that feeling of moving forward under power as I slipped out the clutch for the first time.....that started a life long habit.......

Re: first motorcycle you ever road
can people find old pictures of theirs or even similar on the web as i cant think what lots of your bikes look like peeps? cheers? post a link with your bike even if its similar.?
Re: first motorcycle you ever rode
Yamaha yz125, nearly crapped myself when it took off. For some reason I thought my first road bike, a DT50mx was going to be similar...how disappointing. :blink:
