Man ya'll are older than dirt. My first bike was a 75(?) Honda two stroke 50, I think. I was three we atrated the day riding around and saw it for sale in a guys front yard. We stopped just to look and ended up leaving with it. Then I had a 1988 XR80R, then a KX 80, then a pretty trick KX250. Its funny how I can remember that when I was three but can't remember three days ago.

Like 87 banshee said thanks for the memories.

 

cool! thanx. my dads would like to see that as well. He's 73 now.

had another rotary valve, it was about an 80 Kawi KD175 and i had it for years. boy did that thing run good, i suspuct someone had trimmed the rotor. Only trick that occasionallly we had to throw the pipe into a large wood stove and let all the build up in the pipe burn out. Let it cool, paint it, presto! new pipe!
i regret selling that one. it was faithful as a good dog.
but forward we go, eh?

those were the days eh? hey maybe you can answer: can i still buy "Blendzall"?

In 1981 my dad got me a 78 Honda Z50 , this was my first. He tried me on a atc70 but I ate a fence and a truck bumper so he let me stick to the Z50. Me and my brother rode the little Z for years, also got to ride my dads 185s when we got a little older. Then my brother bought a 79 XR80, man this little bike was fun, and fast. From there I have had a Yamaha Moped, 2 CR125s, 1 CR250, Blaster, YTM225DX, Trailboss and my Warrior.

I am sure most everyone on here has had a Moped and just wont admit it. Your friends cant see you now on it.. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

my dad bought an old 84 Yamaha shaft. 200 cc of raw power and NO SUSPENSION. Me and my brother drove it and had a great time. It had an auto clutch and was a lot of fun. Recently my dad bought a honda rubicon and i drove that for about a year but it was big and slow and automatic and was not very fun to drive. A year ago i decided i wanted a quad of my own so i got a job as a janitor and saved up about $1000. I found a 89 warrior in the paper and i bought it for $1000. I still have it and i love it. My dad gave the shaft to my cousin and he still has that but it hasn't been run for a while now.

 

Those are sum great stories, guess half the fun is remminisen about the past rides and bikes.
we had the 230 zukie for years, we still have it its still in good shape and it dont even smoke, Then we got a 250 recon i rode that until recently, when i met my bud and rode my first 2 stroke, a blaster, then we got his KDX 200 runnin and i loved it then his mom gave him her 2000 shee and i fell in love with the speed. i bought my warrior not to long after and have rebuilt it, i love this stuff, i dont know what ide do without it.

no i take that back, the first 2 smoke i rode was like an 80cc gemini dirt bike, One of the first dirt bikes i ever worked on, it sat in my budds shop for years from when his uncle had it when he was a kid, the crank seal blew out but was undammaged i siliconed it back in and the first ride i took was on the shop floor bein dragged by it, LOL i didnt know how to drive a clutch i was only 11 and ide never rode a clutch.

 

let's see....... My uncle bought me a suzuki 50 three wheeler when i was little. whithin the first day i rolled it twice and was black and blue all over. my parents thought i'd quit after getting banged up, but that was only the beginning! at least my crash ratio has gotten alot better! now i'm a full blown adreniline junkie!
