my 1st bike was a suzuki ap50 the one with pedles on it - if you ran out of petrol you was supose to be able to pedle it home or to a garage - lmao never in a million years could you pedal one of them things - lol
my 1st bike was 1974 fs1-e m reg purple. that had pedals on it too that where a waste of time, if you could pedal for a yard you did well lol. they where only on there to make it legal as a moped. was the first bike i fell off(several times), first bike i got knocked off too lol and the 1st bike i went to school on.
because my birthday is sept 5th i started 5th year on my 16th birthday and went on my 2nd hand fs1-e that cost me £110 (it was 4 years old) that id been saving months for
There is a fs1e club dunans i get the mail and picies from it,hey back then young lads looked so big on them lol
Some on ebay too,love that yellow n black one too..
Suzuki GP100! Blew it up and rebuilt it twice then crashed it into the side of a Ford Capri lol! So I bought another lol ... what a fool.
Love them or hate them? Well I did think they were both fantastically fast ... but that was before I passed my test and decided to celebrate by coming home on the motorway ... scariest half a dozen miles I've ever done.
I thought all bikes slowly rusted away because of these two ha ha ... then I bought a Honda!
My first bike was a 2005 CG125 and at the time, I loved it.
No story as such but finding it for sale ended up being the push I needed not to quit after an awful CBT experience.
Rode it 3 months after passing my test and getting the CBR and I hated it, so sold it. I will always love it as my first bike though.
First (and currently only) big bike, my CBR - I LOVE this bike although sometimes she doesn't love me back!

It's as Geoff says Clinton but they did have the SS50 which in looks was similar to the FS1E, but had the advantage that the owners/riders never got to the pub first and therefore never got the drinks in!

That's right dunans.
Remember a mate sitting revving his up with only one hand on the 'bars.
So I stamped on the gear-lever for him.
Probably the only time it ever pulled a wheelie.
Around about that time, we discovered adrenalin's brown!
