My first was a Suzuki Across - not sure if they came to England or not. Basically it was a GSX 250 that had a helmet stow where the tank would normally be and the tank was under the seat (filled it up above the tail light). It was great, you could fit half a carton of beer, two bags of ice and a bottle of port in that compartment!!

I have a feeling of deja vu, but surely our most (un) beloved has not visited in another disguise???
sgt.law, will treat you as honest as you seem
my first was an AJS350 longstroke, one suck, squeeze, bang, blow per lamppost. Did 75 (indicated) lets call it 70mph at max revs, somewhere around 4-4 1/2 thousand
then came the jap screamer
honda 305 supersports, alledgedly 100 mph at 10,000 in top
rgds, a somewhat suspicious mort

C90, A100 then an XL125 in a XL100 chassis (back then you could have up to 100cc at 14 in Guernsey). The silencer kept falling off but I never really got round to fixing it. I'm sure there's some link to my love of loud dukes in there somewhere....

RD200 at 16 & 1 day, swarbrick pipes, trimmed reeds, straw boater, pipe and slippers, jumpers for goalposts, back in the day, house for a pound....

FS1E-DX - the 50cc moped with a disk brake at the front and a yellow tank with Yamaha Racing Stripes on it! Pure class.

.............and pedals as I recall. Every schoolboy's dream

Mine didn't have pedals as it was the later restricted version - an R-reg bike (RVV 421R - why is it you always remember your first bike's reg plate?)

These were only restricted with an exhaust washer anyway. Mine had a full Micron pipe on it and a "tuned" rotary disk valve too!

We clocked it in the car at 48mph :D
