And it'll age some of us more than others Ok, I'll start this off. My brother & I had a Rupp Roadster when we were kids, but since Dad had a habit of falling off his street bike ocassionally after a few too many, Mom said no motorcycles til we had jobs & our own Health Plan Of course what Mom says goes so after Hi-school my 1st was a Yamaha 250DT-1. Was Ok on the street but sucked in the woods, so found a Hodaka Thunderdog!! Rode that for 1 ECEA Enduro season & then needed something better, duh. Saved up enuff $$$ for my 1st Husky, one of Greg Davis's WR125 ISDT bikes. That's when I really started to learn how to ride. What a great little bike. Actually won the C-125 class at one of the early NJ Nat'l enduros in '78 I think. I run into Greg down here, he rides the FTR series also. He said that was one of his favorite all-time bikes. Now that I thought about how old I am, I'm gonna go take a nap.............. Gotta rest up to go riding tomorrow.....
My good buddy still had this bike until just recently when it was stolen out of his garage in the desert. Most people have seen the old Honda trail 90's but this little jewel predates those, its a Honda 55.
Honda 50 then a BSA bantam D7 and at the tender age of 12 - 13 years old a BSA M20 that had to be ridden with two people on it just so we could bump start it lol
Started with a mini-bike / The Rail /Dad's choice ……Between my two younger brothers and me, we pretty much trashed the thing in short order.
gold Honda CB100, ridden on the street NY and in the woods and farms flat track style I think it was a 1969 or 70 model http://www.autoevolution.com/moto-image/honda-cb-100-1970/1491.html#sjmp
Since everyone else is throwing in pictures PW50 out riding with dad Riding the best pits in Jersey when you still could... My first sport bike lol. My dad thought it was just a slow toy but then realized it was better for him and my uncles lol
If I remember right it was near Manahawkin maybe toward Chattsworth. I remember loading that PW up with Griff's cycle shop stickers because every time my dad went there I'd ask for a new sticker for the bike lol. It was a griffin holding motorcycle wheels and they came in the coolest early 90's moto colors lol. We used to ride at Clayton's pit a lot too. Awesome way to grow up, can't wait to pass it on to my kids
yeah... I remember that shop in Chatsworth! Bought lots of Cam II there on my way to E-Town... 100 ft. was down towards the bottom. You were up there in Central Jersey. Good old days LoM, now it's all McMansion housing! Great starter bike bike btw, sure made my B&S mini bike in the early 70s lame!
