First bike was an 83 pw50. I got it for christmas. I rode the hell outta that thing!! Its been around the family and my nieces currently ride it. I remember my first race on that lil puppy. There was no 50 class in MN at the time so I raced against 60s...as if I had a chance!! On the first lap after the 4th corner was the "dirty dozen"... my throttle stuck and I weeded myself.
My dad still has it all on vhs. Theres pictures of it too in an album somewhere. Ill have to try and dig them up next time im there.

This one was my very first dirtbike, a 1995 CR125. Bought it in the summer of 05 IIRC after selling my moped and working the entire summer.
Sold it about a year later and bought a 2002 KX250. Mostly rode it in the woods at home, only once on a real track. Thought tp myself; "Holy shit this thing has way to much power!"
Sold it after about a month and bought a 03 KX125 in the autumn of 2006. Rode it for a year, crashed, broke my arm, could never get the bike going again. Sold it in september of 2008, haven't had any bike since then, unfortunetly.

1969 Bultaco Pursang 250. Model 68. Open expansion chamber. Love that resonant whine when decelerating throttle closed in an expansion chamber. Put a Bassani "silencer" on it pretty quick. Rode and raced this up till 1974 when at age 19, I bought my first new motorcycle, a blue tank Model 120 1974 Pursang 250. What an amazing motorcycle that was. Anyhow, this pic is my first bumpty bump bike.

1974 Carabella 125cc. It was a Mexican made bike with fiberglass finders. It was new, but still was a very slow bike. I was 29 years old then. Early the next year I picked up a new Honda CR125.

Yeah! The Honda 50 step-thru! My 1st bike as well. I crashed it so often it looked like yours!as My Dad could see I was gonna get hurt on that thing so he lent me 500 bucks for a 75 YZ80B. My 1st and stil favorite MX bike.
