Remember when you turned on your first motorcycle...

[Juzz976]

I had a slightly older road bike 88 FZR250, its was electric start.

I never waited for the clouds to part

My first offroader was alot newer, I thrashed her until I blew her.

First bike, hyosung GT250R,

I was so excited to just push the starter button and go, but like many of you OLDIES i had to push start it.

bastards sold it to me with a flat battery...

I kicked over my first bike for 2 years until dad got the hint and helped me rebuilt the TS185.
2 years of kicking a bike with no spark plug.

Ah to be young and dumb

rebuild = new plug?

was too long ago to remember the first bike I rode, must have been umm lets see...about 40 years ago. I do recall screaming down the road on a farm bike when I was about 10...got a hasty lesson about changing gears from Dad when I got back to the house. o well, we all gotta start somewhere eh?

I do remember the first bike I ever owned all by myself..a Honda Lead, 125 scooter.The bike I did the worst damage to myself falling off, CT90. and my first 'real' bike, an early CB400NC, and then the first of the big bikes, mid 80's Z1000 LTD..lost that one in a crash, but now have 3 of them in my shed waiting to be fixed and on the road. O happy days! not long now. { she says while trying not to dribble from anticipation} Honey, once you have the bug, it like malaria, it may go into remission from time to time, but its always gonna come back!

Get yourself some professional rider training from a qualified instructor. Their knowledge is worth its weight in saved skin, trust me on this... Mostly, mind your manners and have fun.
