1980's something Yamaha GT80, I bought it for $50 bucks back then and rode it till it broke. I couldn't tell you how many time I filled the garage up with smoke burning the back tire, neighbors hated my guts, ha ha. Living in the city there was only a small field near my house I rode it to, but for a kid in grade school it was good enough for me.

1980KX 80 with drum brakes first year of the Mono shock in still air cooled. It seemed like a 500 at the time. Rode it so much that it lost compression and wouldn't run. Those were the days :-)

The bike I learned to ride was a 74 suzuki ts 185, my dads bike(still got it).  I can remember him riding me when I was way too young to be on a bike, with two belts hooking me and him together, what a blast.  Then when I was around 13 I found two bikes in the back of a neighbors house.  My friend got a 79 RM 125 for free(bad shape) and I got a 78.5 RM 250c-2 in a box with a manual for $50 bucks.  Still got it today, a blast to ride and a bit pipey.  Then I moved up too a 92 KX500, rode it for years then traded for a 96 CR 250, man I went from driving a brick to a bike that would handle but lacked that top end hit that makes a 500 a 500.  Sold that one and later on picked up a brand new 2000 kx500 that I till own today.

Hey, I have a 74 TS185 and a 75 TS400! My first was a 73 XL175. My first real bike was a 84 KDX200 that I bought new.
A couple of 03 and 04 KXs, a few YZs, 3 PE 400s, a DR and a TS.

I wanted a Suzuki PE real bad when I was a kid. I finaly got one 2 years ago, then 2 more last year. The closest one is street legal and only has 1700 miles on it.
