My first bike was a Villiers 250 field bike , I was 14 at the time think we pushed it more than rode it lol First road bike at 16 the icon Fizzy whats yours ?
Much the same,just heavier kit,old AJS 350 single,couple of stripped down Tiger Cubs,C15 BSA..First road bike..Triumph 350 cafe racer,built from 3 tea chests of parts(14th birthday present),traded non Triumph bits for parts to complete the jigsaw...was far quicker than local Plod's LE Velocette or Honda..
I have a new barrel / cylinder head and piston for a Greaves 350 in garage somewhere it was given to me when I bought the Villiers so I ve had it mmm a long time lol
First offroad bike was a 360 Greaves Griffon also had a 250 Bultaco Pursang, First road bike was a 250 Royal Enfield Crusader in which ive still got !!
Owned 5 bikes in 40yrs. Yamaha YB100 - crashed and trashed in first year. Yamaha RD125DX - loved this bike. Great for batting round town and didn't bother to upgrade for 15yrs.
