thats a lot o miles.... in 4 year...ye must have a iron butt,

Can't remember the first... maybe a Honda Z50 mini bike at about 10years old..

The first real bike was a mates Yamaha MX125 motorcross bike I was 16years old....WOW that thing had so much power:tongue5:.... 6 weeks later I was sitting on the start line at a local motorcross on my own Suzuki TM125... 30 odd bikes later I have a XT660R/TTR250/2 old Montesa's , 77 Cota348 , 79 125H6

My first ride on a motorbike was when I was 13 years old and living in The Vale of Belvoir (Belvoir is said 'Beaver'). My mates Dad had a 250 Bultaco and he was letting us all have a go up and down this green lane. Sadly the lane was narrow and my clutch control non existent, so whilst attempting to turn around I lost control and ended up riding along the top of a hawthorn hedge adjacent to the tract being dragged by an enthusiastic motorbike. Needless to say eventually I fell off and the bike parked itself on top of me. Thankfully my mates Dad had insisted on safety clothing. He had instructed us to wear a long sleeved top and wellies! My wellies had melted engine fin marks all up their inside. Serious credibility.

My first bike I owned was a Honda Cub C90. Miles of commuting thinking I was cool till one day I went past a shop window . . .

No piccies I am afraid which is a shame as the Bultaco incident would have been �250 on You've Been Framed for sure.

This is 1985 by which time I'd already had a Tiger Cub,Norton Jubilee,a new CB250,Yamaha YR3 350 a Suzuki 500 Cobra then new Kawasaki H1A then a Kawaski 750 H2 then a new CB750 and then this somewhere in Holland visiting a Dutch mate who I still stay in contact with and see most years on the way to DutchTT.

First bike I had was a �20 Honda MT5 when I was 14. I used it as a field bike until I got a Yamaha DT50MX (which cost �130).

I used the DT offroad until I was 16 then it went on the road. The thing broke down more times than I care to remember!

These pictures were 1988/1989.
