yamaha ty175 trials bike

Yamaha FS1E - license plate was JFJ 209N, collectable now apparently i would like another one

Actually, I 'spose my first bike was my "monkey bike" that my dad got me when I was about 8 ! I then had a DT50 and KX80 both off road, but first road bike was the RX50

Mine was a Kawasaki KDX 175 i was about 8 or 9? this was closely followed by three Fantic motor trials bikes!!

My first road bike?

Passed my DAS and bought my GSX 6R K1 and still got it 2 yrs on

GP100 for £275 – liked blowing holes in pistons and engine covers!

Could have started on a 250 but wasn’t enough time to pass my test before the rules changed.

Garelli Tiger Cross...

Yam DT 175 bout 1980

Paid £45 for it from a bloke in a hotel car park. Then a TS250 the an XL 125 cos they changed the rules, passed me test on that one.

FS1E - purple ones were the best, mine was an N-reg too

Had a gilera runner 50 for two months, but first motorbike was a Derbi Senda SM125 supermoto...looked great but struggled to hit 60mph Stuck a spuddy on the back and used to go green laning which was interesting!

Had a 1977 mk7 250 bultaco pursang first just before my 16th birthday,what a total animal that was.Remember having a school bus ban for two weeks and had to ride it 13 miles to school,have pictures of it somewhere will try and find them,then had my dt50
