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

[img] [/img]

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!

First motorbike was an Excelsior.

My first road bike was the H100. I got a bike before I got a car.

My first motorcycle ever was this....

1st bike ,Kawasaki KMX125
[img] [/img]
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?

[img] [/img]

A MK3 Cortina something very like this, only with more rust.

mini 1000 here too.

1.0 Metro just like this.
[img] [/img]
and before that I had one of these!
[img] [/img]
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 [b]my Dad[/b] took off his helmet - he had borrowed it to go to work one day 😆

a Nova Merit+
something like this
[img] [/img]

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...

@Zedsdead

I had one of these

[img] http://t2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQO_0HhAeMptAWq-bMQog9EgRcVS7IZK0-XSS8mNou6nsaNQulj [/img]

Changed the exhaust, put a big bore kit on it and just the sprockets as well and it went pretty well actually 🙂

Car, 1971 Vauxhall Viva HC in white and red oxide. Given to me by my dad as an 18th birthday present two months before it failed its MOT....

Bike, Suzuki RG250 Mk 11 Gamma with a stage 3 Stan Stephens race tune. Mother of God did I learn to ride when I had that!

Best bike BTW, 1998 Kawasaki ZX6R (in green of course)......then the kids came along
