My first bike:
Age: 18
Year: 2007
Bike size:499cc
Year: 1936
I had used a 124cc bike for a bit to pass my test on mind... I dont think the examiner would have been happy about the lack of mirrors or indicators.... Or having to wait for me to start it..... Or lack of real brake lights.... Or disc brakes... Or... You get the point!

I finally Got the pictures to load..!
If this works It should be a Picture of me and my shadow after a year of bringing her back from the dead. This was the the first ride more than 1 mile away from my house. This ride 50 miles and all of it motorway. I made it to the show and back and all was well. Well mostly well, as the back of the bike was covered with oil..This was only in 2011...In 2009 or 2010 here aso is a picture of My shadows NEXT owner! This is a picture of my then 3 year old daughter, who always says the BLACK bike is her Faviorate!
Cheers,
Eric

Memories - whatever happened to flaired trousers? They used to get caught on the gear indicator, then all sorts of panic set in when I couldn't put my foot on the ground.

Sorry Howard, they are not bell bottoms! They are chaps. I never rode without chaps, boots, jacket, gloves and a full face helmet. I wore the scarf always, but for wind noise as inexpensive ear plugs were not readily available. I had a few get offs, but I always rode away. I did not own an automobile, so I was on a bike all year round.
