But got heavily into trials riding and ended up with one of these
Ossa Explorer 250 - first bike I ever bought brand new. Exactly the same as a MAR but with a dual seat so I could do trials then take my girlfriend on the back as well (ahem yes officer - on L-Plates). That way I had the choice of which way I wanted to get dirty.
Once I had passed my test, I had a mate who let me have a go on one of my objects of desire at the time...
Which resulted in a big grin followed quickly by a major arse clenching moment as the bike came on song while I was accelerating out of a bumpy corner while still cranked over - fired out of the seat in a near highside, followed by the front end coming right up while I just clung onto the bars like a bison wrestler as they slapped from lock to lock. Nearest I've ever coming to binning a bike without binning it.
Spent hours with my snotty nose pressed up against the window at slow burnin' fuse (Coburn and Hughes) daydreaming about one of these
But, surprisingly, couldn't afford one on a student grant.
