Yeah, great summer we're having...
No riding today so I've delved into the archives (might just be a couple of related posts I think). Here's a bit of my early riding history for ya. The first pic is me sitting by the old man's old Kwaka two-stroke - believe it or not I actually was run to kindy sitting on the petrol tank a few times...

Next up is a few years later playing around at the river on Dad's Suzy A50. Note the fantastic safety equipment...

| Yes, I am cool! |
And lastly, here I am on the first bike I owned - a mighty TS185ER. I bought this (with seized engine) for $120 and Dad got it going in no time. No kick starter (broken, not enough pocket money) so first up - learn to crash-start.

Great old shots.
ReplyDeleteIt is nice to see when folks put up pictures from back in the day. Looks like you were having a great time in each photo.
Ah, memory lane. Your pics all made me smile.
ReplyDeleteIts great looking at old pictures. You were lucky you got to ride as a kid, my mom never would have allowed it or even thought about it. Great looking old bikes. Good thing though that your gear safety leve has risen though!
ReplyDeleteYou're a lucky guy, getting at riding that young of age. The lack of ATGATT is worrisome but I guess we all have been there and learned our lesson. Thanks for posting those treasures.
