[quote="Normsthename"]My first proper Motorbike was a 1975 MZ TS150
After having mopeds before that I thought it was so fast! :lol:
Passed my Test on it in 1979 when I was 17

Me too! My TS150 was a 1977 which I bought new. Passed my test on it the following year. Ahh memories!

Zoom Zoom Grandad: is that a Puch VS50? One of my mates at the time had one. Had my first go on a bike on it on a car park behind a pub. The landlord came out and spoiled my fun! I wanted either a VS50 or a fizzie but my parents forbade it. So I ended up with a Puch Maxi instead. Again, memories!

Pug Ludix back in 2005 for me as I got fed of the buses going to the station.

And then the two wheel bug bit me.

the same time i had the yam 200 , my mate had the yam rd250 and another the suzi gt 250, the sound of the suzi 250 was more distinctive, thru the pipes.. not much in them speed wise, mind you they used to sod off half the time as i could not keep up ;)
