What was your first bike?

My apologies if this already exists.

What was your first bike?

Mine was a 1979 Kawasaki KZ650
I rode the thing pretty often until I was jumping tree stumps in my father-in-law's yard. I popped the front end up and it landed on it's side from about 5 ft up. I tried to start it, but we later found out that I had knocked it out of time and bent the valves.

Amazingly, I worked at a place with a machine shop. One of the machinists was actually able to straighten the valves and I installed them and kept on riding.

Best bike I ever had...until now.

5 hp...braggart! A few of my friends and I sort of assembled one with a lawnmower engine. Loose seat, no brakes and pull start but it was FUN! My first real bike was a Honda Super 90 circa 1967...in, 1967
