  1. post your old (creased no doubt) pics, with a description if possible...

    Mine was a Honda 50 sport, which I used to ride along the canal towpath with our Jack Russell sat on the tank...

  2. Thanks for that chap - now just gotta work out how to post my pedi into there!
     
  3. if you've got a photo, scan it and save it to your pics on your computer. Then click reply and "upload a file", which should give you the option to choose your pic, then upload.

    Good luck !

  8. Mobylette luxamatic, brand new, 1971,my mate is just doing one up, should be good to relive memories,but idoubt the flares would still fit
     
  9. This was my first 'proper' sports bike, 12 years later I had another one because I like them so much, great training and contrary to popular belief they were both perfectly reliable as was my RS250.

  10. Iv'e had lots of bikes since being about 10 years old. My earliest memory was a Honda CB50 which I used to ride around the farmyard. From there it escalated to motocross machines.
    My first road bike was a Kawasaki KE100 probably back around 1987. After a few months on that I passed my car test and went up to a powerful brown austin allegro lol. From there it was cars,cars,cars although I kept my motocross bikes.
    I took a 3 day course back in 2003 so I could ride down to Spain with a group of friends. I passed, went out and purchased a brand new daytona 600 and left for Spain not long after. Probably the best holiday I had ever had.

  12. My first bike I had on the road was back in 2005. It was a Yamaha TZR 50, flat out 65mph! Only had it two weeks and was pulled over by a plod on a bike because i had my mate on the back and had L plates on. I honestly didn't know i wasn't allowed or hadn't heard that part in the CBT. 3 points and a £60 fine and to add to it all my parents took my keys off me until I could pay it :worried:
     
  13. Seems like yesterday.
