My first bike.... was a Honda

[lawrie]

Ooops, missed this thread somehow!!

My first 'bike' was a 50s-something Brockhouse corgi, like the one I did a resto on, I paid a fiver for it from a neighbor, & I used to go to & from work in 1962, I must has looked a right dipstick, but it was my ticket to the world!!

I don't know how I managed to miss this thread..Must be an age thing

My first bike was a spanking new Kawasaki KE100 back in 1978..First one in the country at the time.

Just look at those boots and flares...And don't even mention the top box

Next came the Yamaha RD250DX...I even had hair back then too

My 1st bike was a Gilera Enduro 50, funny how 80 or so bikes later I've bought another Gilera, a GP800

One thing I'm noticing & remembering is the "Mo's"  Was just the 'fashion' back then, but looking back now, cringe.   
I remember 30 or more years ago, had a wedding pic on the wall, had always been there since the kids were born, one day my young daughter, prob 3 or 4 at the time, said who's in that picture with mummy?    Had a handle bar mo in the pic but not when she was born , thought I'd still be recognisable to my own daughter though!

Don't worry about it Col, I see pics of people in the 70's and some laugh at the clothes ETC but I don't have a problem with them, they looked good at the time.  What about kids today wearing pants that look like they've been shit in, lads wearing ear rings and makeup, fat birds wearing clothes two sizes too small.  What will they think in 30 years time 

[KiwiCol]

True mate, true.

[grog]

All true. In 70s had hair way down my back. Cant understand why i had long hair and rode, so much wasted time brushing out knots. Todays brushes slightly different, teeth, paint, clean wheels, not needed for no hair.
