[quote="Normsthename"]My first proper Motorbike was a 1975 MZ TS150
After having mopeds before that I thought it was so fast!
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!

Started with a Runner 180, then bought a CCM supermoto, followed by a Kawasaki KLV100, KTM 950sm, Mk3 Tmax, KSR kawasaki monkeybike, jincheng dax copy monkeybike, Honda APe100 monkeybike, Husqvarna 900 Nuda, Honda MSX125, Stomp road legal pitbike with a 140 engine, Skyteam dax125 and probably more, sure i owned 15 bikes since 2004 but cant remember the others.

my first new ride was a Yamaha rd200 in 1977 can remember i had to get me dad to be guarantor on the finance, and passed me test on it that year. can remember thinking on test "where the bloody hell is the test guy while riding round" arr there he is....

Yes Puch vs 50 SPORT , 1974/75 ,

Triumph Trident Sprint 1995 carbed triple version .

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
