Mine was this bad boy...
Honda H100. What a machine! It was my freedom and chick magnet - stop laughing back there....
I covered many many miles on it and when I were a lad used to race my mate in his 850cc Fiesta, and win! haha!
I perfected the tuck position on it to eek out the extra point something of a mile per hour on it too. lol
I had one of them - but my first bike was one of these in orange
mini 1000
1st bike : Kawasaki AR 50
While everyone else was riding what we called 'chicken chasers'. I rebuilt this bad boy with Micron straight through exhaust, different rear sprocket and 'performance' air filter to give me an extra 9/10 mph 
1st car
1974 Hilman Hunter GT 1725 Holbay in 1978.
Honda XL125 in 1977
lovely car. no transmission tunnel so lots of room for my 6'4" frame.
Gilera 50cc Enduro moped. R plated so not 30mph restricted.
Also Mini with 1100 engine and ahuge fabric sunroof and wide wheels. Great
1989 Fiesta Popular Plus 1.1 thought it was great after years of biking/walking to work.
1.3L 3 door 1981 Mk3 Ford Escort, which I bought in 1991 I think.
Same colour as this but more rust. Lasted about six months before I crashed twice in one week, the second one wrote it off.
I was born to be a hair dresser.
1973 Yamaha FS1E here, sadly no pics of my first set of wheels 
First bike:Yamaha TY80 trials bike.(nine years old at the time).
Mine was one of these, a fs1e in yellow-don't remember it having Kenny Roberts stripes though
First car was a 1275GT Clubman Mini in purple
IanMunro - you are surprisingly good looking!
lol
c50 aged 10
cb125j aged 16
Hillman Avenger aged 27
FS1E here too got it 2/6/75 - can't remember what year the bike was though
71 Capri 1600 XL auto. The auto didn't last long before I bolted in a 4 speed & a Weber carb. So easy to fix with Escort & Cortina parts being dirt cheap, at the time.
Honda 50 when I was 15
followed by a Lambretta SX200 at 16
and a Reliant supervan at 17
Bugger my cover's been blown!
Suzzie.
My first road bike was the H100. I got a bike before I got a car.
My first motorcycle ever was this....
Still have it too...
1st bike ,Kawasaki KMX125
1st car ,Peugeot 309 diesel
Suzuki AP50, identical to this one: Tempted to buy another for old time's sake but decent ones go for over £3,000..eeek!
Simwit - that Laverda Jota is lovely!
Do you still have it?
A MK3 Cortina something very like this, only with more rust.
mini 1000 here too.
1.0 Metro just like this.
and before that I had one of these!
Never really recovered from the metro!
Honda CG125 (1st Generation).
Top speed of 68mph and I could get over 130 mpg too.
I used to ride up the A9 to Inverness tucked in behind a decent sized HGV as that made it faster.
Grounded it at the Aberlady corner a couple of times resulting in a big off. I eventually took a hacksaw to the tang of the stand to increase the ground clearance.
My first car The fiat Uno the best car in the world for understeer even 20mph going round a roundabout it would slide out.
Hey - the Uno wasn't that bad. I had an Uno Turbo for a while and we managed a great holiday in France for 4 of us. Fast as stink!*
* well - it felt it
Yet another 'fizzy' here - a 1974 IIRC which was clocked by the police at 52mph who couldn't stop laughing when my Dad took off his helmet - he had borrowed it to go to work one day 
a Nova Merit+
something like this
1st car was a 1986 Ford Escort 1.3L 3 door C720MWC, 4 speed, leaky boot, dodgy electrics, used a gallon of oil every 1000 miles...
Random pic off t'web in the same colour as mine
