Suzuki TC90 Ag bike, I think I paid $25 for it... in 1976...

Honda 70 Postie step through that i bought for $100 when i was 13

Old man bought me a 1985 Yamaha IT250 for $1000 when i was 14. I felt so damn lucky to have that bike. Bashed paddocks and chased sheep on a cousins farm for years.

I sold the Yamaha to buy a KTM 250 four stroke when i was old enough to get my licence.

Sold the KTM and didn't ride for years and forgot about renewing my licence as i moved interstate and the bike licence didn't transfer.

Moved back to NSW and had to start the L's again. Had an old 1993 Kawa EL250 to do the L's and P's.

Now i'm onto the sporty and haven't looked back.

I was hoping to get lotsa pictures of ya first bikes................

Honda CT90 ex Postie bike that I had to share with my two brothers.

My first road bike was a ducati silver shotgun 450 desmo I brought from norm fraser when they where in strafield. Cost $550 and it went like the clappers blowing my mates triumph bonnies into the weeds. Sold it and brought my first norton commando 12 months later because they where faster. The good old days when the cops used to belt the shit out of ya for riding to fast leaving there trophy's behind.

Trail bike was Honda elsoner ( been than long not sure on spelling.) First road bike was a  Yamaha XS 250.

Christ..... this brings back memories.

It was 1972 and I was in my last year of High School. It was a BSA 500cc M20 which I bought for $10.
I chopped it and about a year later it was stolen by surfs and thrown over a cliff.

Have HATED Surfies ever since !!!!!

Just a web pic but this was my monster. Bought, fixed and regod all for under 700 bucks back in 82. It was a 78 model.

First ride was at the Mt Keira Motocross track west of Wollongong. Dad took me there in his ute, took bike off and said go for it, At the end of the day i thought i was unbeatable! Oh to be young again.............

Dermie mine was a MT125 which had the silver tank..  Was hard to get parts for it. Great bike though.
