    What was your first bike?

    What was your first bike and when?

    Mine was a 70's CB175 with megaphone pipes to make it sound FAST! I thought I was way cool riding with my flares and Afro

    Too long ago to remember but 1975-76?

    A Yamaha FZX250 Zeal. An outstanding ride. I enjoyed greatly every one of the 16,500km I travelled on it (in nine months).

    In 1971 I was the proud owner of a 1963 CZ175. Also known as an NZeta.

    For those who have never heard of this terrible piece of machinery, imagine a JAWA175 engine in a scooter type body with the large fuel tank over the front wheel, and weighing about the same as a 1975 Honda Goldwing.
