Post pic of your first bike. Doesnt have to be actual bike but same model. 

Loved my MR50. Clutch had 3 speed gear box and I have no idea why honda stopped making them.

AKA the most dangerous gear box design ever. I can't believe how many auto-clutch vehicles they put those transmissions in. 1 click the wrong way and your rear tire locks up instantly. Always nice when you're approaching a jump face.

Probably 20 of these threads in the proper forum. But here’s one like mine. I rode it until I was way to big for it and passed it on to some cousins who had it stolen before they really even got to use it.

 

Towards the end of my ownership. Both the bike and helmet show just how long I had them. Lol

83 cr was a bad mo fo. I rode a 1980 cr80 allot and it was way faster than most 80s that year. Remember the red engine.

replace the actual gas tank with a repurposed lawnmower gas tank and you have my first bike:

‘89 kx80.  Bought new for $1600 and i paid half (thx Dad!).  Lots of great memories in the woods with family.  Wish i still had it...

1974 Yamaha DT125 Dual Sport. It was my mom's! I managed to peel off all the signals, mirrors, etc... Not actual bike, but same zact color. 

Once I got cocky, Dad let me try the 360 2T thumper. I was scared of the kickstarter. If you didn't kick it ALL the way through, the lever would snap back HARD and thump the back of your leg. We never wore real m/c boots, so.....

It was Christmas morning, and I couldn’t help but notice my siblings had more/better presents then me. I was pissed! After opening them all, Dad says “Let’s go play a game of pool.”(which we had just gotten also.) While playing Mom comes in and says “You missed one present hiding under the tree.” “

(Great! It’s gotta be something small like a pair of socks for me to miss it.”) is what I was thinking as I walked through the kitchen and out into the Living room.

And there she was!! The 1st Love of my Life!!!

Did ya sleep next to it. We called it indoor camping when I was a kid. Couldn't take the eyes off the bike.

A buddy had an XR75 with the down sweeping DG pipe... We thought that was da' bomb! And, it was louder than heck (or seemed so at the time).

I was 13 and my brother worked at the local Yamaha. I came home one day and he had bought me a 2 year old 1978 YZ 80. I quit bmx racing on the spot. To hell with pedaling. I’d come home from school every day and take off. #BEST GIFT EVER!!!
