1976 Vespa Super 150, which makes it ten years older than me....

70ish Yamaha DT100 which was ridden to College every day in sch uniform (remember those grey shorts?)and all weather. A couple of mates had SL125 Hondas and we used to go trail riding at lunchtimes

15.5 years old so 1973 I think.

1954 AJS 500cc single bought as a running wreck and reprayed, recover the seat, rings etc and find all the bits. Loved that bike! Wonder where 855YR ended up?

Bit of a rough rugby field was it?

Honda H100 but it was thrashed by my mate who had a GL145...

70ish Honda MT125 also ridden to school every day in school uniform (we had dark blue shorts however)...

'73 Suzuki T125 2 stroke twin. My mate had an SL125 as well. Great bike but the Suzuki was much quicker.

Ahh the old grey school shorts, oilskin parka, open face helmet with goggles, and ski gloves. Brilliant on a windy, wet Wellington day.

A Triumph Tigress scooter to get my license on (in 1973), a brief flirt with danger via a TS125, then into it with a T500J. Incidently, you could get 7 teenagers sitting in a row on those things and still do 60mph. Mind you, no helmets meant less wind resistance

I got a Kawasaki 88 GPX250 - didn't even know how to ride. My mate dropped me out in the sticks and I had to figure it out from there. Didn't even know what 1 down & 5 up meant. :cool2:
