What was Your First Bike?

Yep, TY80. Went from there to several other bikes to finally my current rides which are pretty much the extreme end of the scale for both dirt and street.

69 Honda Scrambler 90

Before I got my license, I walked it down to the end of the block where there was this gigantic church parking lot. I put a 100 miles on that sucker, going round and round and round.
 
Yeah Devil it was a blast. It didnt fit me real well ( 6'5" 260lbs ) and you couldnt ride it for more than 30 minutes without your a$$ going numb, but for those 30 minutes it was a blast.

just for fun... the next bike was this one

125 thumper... dr 'zuk

I'm a big fan of the DR 'zuki's even today because of that bike.. if I went to get another trail bike it would say DR at the beginning or I wouldn't buy it.

ran the thing out of oil.. locked it up.. put the oil back in and she fired up and went about it's business... now thats tough.

I started out on the infamous gsx1300r and 14,000 miles later I am totally happy. could not have asked for a better bike.
 
First street bike was a late 70's Kawi KZ 400 that I punched out to 450. Before that were a couple of dirt bikes.
