Not sure i can class this a motorbike. B4 my 16th birthday the law (UK) was up to 250cc, which meant i was going to get my brothers Tiger cub. Bastards changed the law which demoted me to a 50cc moped! it was some euro thing called a Puch. After that my first real bike was a 75 Yamaha DT 175.

My first bike was a "Kymco Curio, Super 50"
Breeeeee! it didn't go brmmm, it went BREEEEEEEE like the little 50cc it was. It was super-fun, I rode it for a year and didn't know any road rules and explored Taiwan.
I went riding in a hurricane and got blown off. That was the highlight really.
I put stickers of Pikachu on it and it had a little shopping basket on the front that people tended to use as a rubbish-bin.

1974 Honda XL 100 when I was 15. I'd been waiting for what seemed a life time. So cool when i first jumped onto it.

In south London, at 16 yrs and 5 days in 1957 my dad helped me get a 1953 197cc James (Villiers 2-stroke) - first year they had swinging arm rear suspension. Good learner bike. 50 years later have now graduated to my 3rd Honda ST - 1300 this time and loving it. david
