i just worked it out , i have been riding bikes for 51 years . my Dad and two uncles used to race bikes , my first bike ride was around snetterton race track at 9 years old . on a 1924 350cc TT model sunbeam , that's when the Norwich straight was still in use .
hi norfolkngood been riding my own bikes since i was 17 way back in 1979,before that my dad used to secure me on the back of his bike with his judo belt no idea how young i was at the time hadn't started school then
My old field bikes from around 12,on the road from 16,but we didn't have a car until the 70's,so i suppose Dad's Tiger110 with sidecar was my first 'ride',sitting on my mum's lap...60 something years..?And there's me a mere spring chicken,pmsl...🐓🐓🐓
I started with a Kawasaki motocrosser aged 12. It belonged to one of the farm workers were I had a holiday/weekend job and we had the use of a 60 acre field complete with spinney and a disused railway line! Never wore a helmet, not quite sure how I'm still here...
First road bike was a Yamaha Rxs100, soon followed by a Honda Cb125 twin to sit alongside it (cost me £1or rather a pint of IPA.)
A long time the 1st time was on a farm track on my mates motorcycle while still at school was a young teenager had bikes on & off all my life I hate being enclosed in a car but for a few years a car was more practical
