First bike I rode!

Finally a picture of the bike I learnt how to ride on surfaced! I am not on it in the picture but a couple of my classmates, one that I am still close too and talk to once in a while are. This was in the late 70's and the bike was a Honda 50. Man did we have fun on that thing! I was so excited when I saw the picture...I felt like I was that little boy again! Great memories

Those Honda's were allot of fun. You could take them anywhere. They were lightweight too.

Mine was bigger than yours,
Bridgestone 175.
But to be honest that was my second bike. First bike was a Yamie 80.

The fist bike I went on the back of was a Francis Barnett with a 197cc two stroke engine. The first bike I road was a 68 Honda 50, my first bike. They were 100 quid brand new, $200 Canadian.

Cool. My first one was a 1966 Honda 55 trail. Had a step thru/no clutch. That thing was bulletproof I crashed it a lot. Thanks for sharing.

1965 Honda Sport 50, many great miles and a few out of state trips. I sold it to my
uncle in '70, I would like to buy it back, but he won't part with it. Maybe someday...

1966 with my sister.

TC is correct. I photo shoped the hats since I did not tell the guys I was going to put their picture out there. It's amazing to see the similar rides alot of us started out on. I thought some might laugh at what I started out on. Thanks to everyone else for sharing their first ride too.
