    Remember when you turned on your first motorcycle...

    Her smell
    Her looks
    Her feel
    Her sound

    I'm in love.

    I'm a Cheshire cat.
    I sit drooling awaiting the parting of clouds to just drive her up and down my driveway. It's all I want in life.

    Is that your green ninja? If so I am jealous, I always wanted a green ninja - I can see why you would be in love

    Yeah, I decided when I found her on trademe that she would pop my motorcycle cherry and that she was perfect.

    Now she sits in my garage, and my garage undeservedly houses her.

    My 1st bike was a Matchless 350....

    Didnt sort of turn it on.......

    Kicked the hell out of it..
    If that didnt work i pushed it...
    The spark plug youst to blow out every now and then....
    The front guard jammed in the front wheel and spat me off once..

    Those were the days...
    No brakes...........
    No commonsence...
    No teeth.
    And that is the honest truth your honour..

    Mate, what a gorgeous first bike

    mine was a scabby old RD200 Yamaha known as Mrs Scrack-Thing after the Goon show character. It was bad tempered, kept seizing, had appalling brakes, a flexi frame and a narrow power band that meant you were either hanging on for grim death or getting overtaken by bicycles going up hills.

    Fuck I loved that bike.
    Don't blame me, I voted Green.

    Yerrr...well I didn't "turn on" my first bike either - another "kick shit out of it" type like the Matchy mentioned above. It was a 1953 Ariel 350cc single. Made of solid iron. Weighed about a ton. Good for about 60mph flat out...on a good day....downhill...with a following gale... If you touched the back brake the entire wheel locked up totally. No suspension to speak of. And various other faults as well, too numerous to mention.

    But it went. And I thought I was pretty shit hot on it at that...

    I guess it just wasn't that into you

    I adored my first bike. Like losing your virginity, I guess you never really forget your first.
    No body move... I dropped my brain

    I can see that you were a little "premature" and didn't even make it to the carpark
