First Bike
« on: March 01, 2009, 05:26:50 PM »
My first bike was back in 19 hundred and sixty-six. Back when dirt was born I think.  A yamaha 250 YZ something, don't remember that far back.
Had a lot fun on that thing, put me in the hospital once. What was yours?

If you don't love what you're doing, then don't do it.
Your chances of success are directly proportional to the degree of pleasure you derive from what you do.

First bike was a mid 70's Yamaha Enduro 125.
Purchased it from a relative for $350.00 in 1982.
It was my first vehicle. Fun times.

Mine was a Honda CT70.  Loved that bike but the Yamaha YZ80 after that made me want to chunk rocks at it...   ;D

1967 Honda 205 Scrambler................. :bikerider:

I help make it into a mini chopper. Lavendar tear drop gas tank, raked it (?) and had mini ape hangers (bicycle handlebars). It wasn't too hard to kick start.

I wish I had taken a picture of it back then............

Life is too short for drama or petty things, so laugh hard, love truly and forgive quickly. Live While You Are Alive. Forgive now those who made you cry. You might not get a second time.

1981 Yamaha XJ750 Seca



Quote
For those who want the trickest thing this side of outer space, the Seca has landed. And without a doubt, it's the most interesting two-wheeler of 1981, LCD's and flashing lights and all.
