1970 Honda Trail 50 with a big number 8 on a number plate for it being my 8th birthday. That was the start of it all 38 years ago.

I cant believe I'm the first to say a Yamaha PW50.... I was in the third grade.  I thought everybody started out on those  :-D


I can't believe that there are only 2 of us so far!!!  A yellow and black (classic yamaha colors) 1982 PW50 when I was 4 years old.

27 years later I have a 97 CR250, 98 KX500, 99 KX80, 05 R1 canyon bike, 05 SV1000 track bike.  I still need a few more. :-D

In grade 9 I saved my every cent I earned in a glued shut jar and bought my 1980 RM125. It was 1982 and that's the closest I've come yet to a new bike. It was great. First street bike came a couple of years later, 1982 Honda 750 Nighthawk.

First bike ever was a 1983 Yamaha xt250 I never expected to get a dirtbike because my mum was totally against them. But anyway got her about a year ago took me about 5 minutes to get used to the weight of it and the power as it took a long straight to eventually wind out. I rode the wheels off of it blew the engine and still rode it round. And we just finished rebuilding it about 3 weeks back truly bulletproof.

1st Bike early 70's Gold Honda CT-70, 1st "Racing Bike" Suzuki TS50 with Factory Hop Up Kit (this was my all time favorite). I was helping a friend at his shop, moving a bike in the boneyard, and SURPRISE my little Suzi was grabbing at my pant leg. It is hard to believe after 30 plus years, we would be reunited (very rough shape, will eventually learn how to post pictures here). I brought her back to the shop over a year ago, and in the process of restoring.

Old Timers, if you know of any old Suzuki Dealers that might have old inventory please forward info.

My first ride was a tricycle my Grandmother bought with S&H Green stamps. Then a banana seat 3 speed bike.
First motored was a Rupp Roadster (see photos). Then for three brothers to share a Trail Boss 100 Kawasaki. Then a Husky 250 Mag, the steering stem was weak and doing wheelies all the time didn't help.
I now have a '96 XR600, '00 800RMK 151" Polaris sled, '03 KX500, and '09 XP850 Polaris quad. It's got to have a motor and wind in the face.

1980 MX175 (Yamaha), Keep in mind I got the bike in 1998 (bike was 18 years old). It ran great and I paid just $300 for it. Rode it for a year and moved up to a KTM250 EXC (big move up).  :mrgreen: I've really come a long way in the 11 years since that first bike.
