Lets see your first wheels..
 

Bit of a lazy day today,having a tidy up and found some old pics...this might have been done before,but i'm opening myself up to ridicule and if anyone wants to join me,feel free..mogwai@youthfulgoodlooks.com

purple FS1E for me:) got no piccies though :(

Oh, it was SO comfy...

I had one of these as my first bike, wish I still had it actually :(

Darren

'Tis was mine. Oh, the good old school days! Mind you, it beat all the twin cylinder Japs at the time.:D

Not actually mine but very similar to my first bike.........

not the first bike(ish)...
 

As I was already 16.... my first bike at 13 was an ASPES 50cc MX, with Sachs 5 gear engine... followed by a CIAO 50cc PIAGGIO at 14..a FANTIC 125ccMX Caballero at 15... and a VESPA PX125 at 16 (1982) in the picture.....

Helmet was an option at that time... it did (luckly) become mandatory over 50cc in 1989 or so... and for 50cc just not long ago.

Anyway..the scenary is great!!! wheeling in front of the Duomo in Florence....

Unfortunately I still have...... :o:lol:

Hee,hee,hee!
This is a great thread,nice one Moggers.
Now let me spoil it by my pic.
Its the summer of 1980 and I'm the proud owner of a 6 month old Triumph Bonneville,....

Mind you,those old Trumpets could fly,......:devil:

Here's my little beauty, don't all puke at once!

:lol: :lol:

Ugh

My first big bike:

Kettle

Aaaahhhh ...

I did find it!!!
 

the internet is a great tool..
my first bike (well just the same) at 13....... here!!

aspes 50 (the only difference was the engine, as mine with a Sachs group)

Wheeley in fron of the Duomo wearing espidrils! You are the king of style Brogins.

Ok first bike was a honda SS50 at 16, - I could n't find a scan of that so jumping forward 3 years, 1983 ish - a Honda CB750FB, - the most boring bike I ever owned, - I wanted the 900FB for a Fast Freddie AMA rep but could n't afford the insurance.

And yes i had hair once :lol:

No pics of me first bike (rd 125) but only had it a short while to pass my test.
2nd was this one, in 1982 at seventeen these were compulsory.:D

I know it's not everybodies cup of tea...but I do miss my Fatboy :sniff:

Im glad to see that helmet technology has moved on since this photo was taken, never mind the coat.:D:D

I will try and scan the photo of me (not much better) on my AP50

Here's mine....

Isn't she GORGEOUS!

I bet it's hard to know which one is more temparental: The bike or the rider. ;):P
