My story;
At 8 y/o on a Honda SL90 not the step through kind. . .
At 12 bought my own Yamaha a 125 Enduro. Full plastic, 250 forks, 21" front wheel. At 13 I ported it, bigger reed cage, air box, stole a carb off something, pipe, dual plug head, and laid down the rear shocks! Big sprocket and kicked on the local YZ 125 riders big time. It was torque monster good for trails and hill climbing! A great Bike!
Ran though a couple fixer up honda's and later bought 89 XR250R which I kept for a long time! Great trail bike! Loved IT!

From my uncle we built up an XR500R adding a big bore kit; 650CC HAHA!!! What beast! I wish they had electric start then!
These are the three bikes I spent most of the time riding (125, 250 500/650). Along the way there were lots of other bikes ridden and some street bikes including a couple hawgs! In my late teens were sand rail dun buggies, (air cooled Chevy powered Corvair's), Stand up Jet Ski 650 Kawi to teach ya thing or two about balance and jumping,:thumbup: And various quads and three wheelers. . .
Season #2 is done and so far - My first street bike hasn't bounced off the pavement!!! :cheer: :cheer:
