First bike you've ever owned
After sneaking out with my old mans 77 Sportster for two years I bought a 74 sporty as my first street bike. But somewhere there is about a dozen dirt bikes starting with a old Honda 50 and going up to a 1990 (brand new) Honda 250 that I played a part in running the wheels off of. I wonder whatever happened to those old dirt bikes.

My first bike was for the dirt when I was 15... an IT125

My first street bike was a Ninja 250... I rode the "pee" outta that thing for the short half year I owned it.

Neither of those are mine, but I did google the pics.

We're the first ones to starve
We're the first ones to die
The first ones in line for that pie in the sky
But we're always the last
When the gravy's shared out
For the worker is working when the fat cat's about

First Bike I owned? Honda MT-5
Not quite the same as this:
It had been dropped so many times by the previous owner it failed the MoT on everything
Honda did a 125cc version I would love to get my hands on. First Bike on the road? 1996 CG125, also Honda, in my avatar.

454 Ltd
First and only bike is a roached-out 454.

The wife had a bike first, Suzi Blvd S40, which I learned to ride on (I talk a lot of $4!t for someone who was never on a bike before he was 36!).
Used to get up about 5am on weekends to take her bike out when I knew she wouldn't want to ride.
Finally, found the 454 for sales from someone she worked with. Later I found out I paid sticker price! - 1985 sticker price... $1000... Oh to have a time machine!

Don't think of it as a stop light. Think of it as a chance-to-show-off light.

I loved this bike, and am so sad I don't have it anymore. Rarely worked, had to jump on the seat to get the left turn signal to go on, and the neutral light never worked. Still it was a great time learning on it.
