my first bike was a 1982 185s that i pulled out of some bushes at my grandpas place it took alot of work but its working better than it ever has

First bike of any kind was a 1972 Kawasaki F7 175. Next purchase was a 1982 ATC200. Still have em both. The Kawasaki needs a piston. The ATC200 still runs. I rebuilt the engine when I was about 16.

Well, my first was a mini bike with a tecumseh motor in it. But my first "real" motorcycle was a '71 Yamaha JT1 Mini-Enduro. Awesome little machine! Moved from that to a '71 Yamaha 90 Enduro, then a '72 Yamaha 100 Enduro, then a '74 Kawasaki 100 Enduro (my first bike purchased "brand new", and the bike I started racing on in the desert at age 15). Next came a '76 Kawasaki KS125, then a '76 Yamaha YZ 125., followed by a sweet '79 Yamaha YZ250 which was my last "race" bike. Started getting into 3-wheelers with a '82 ATC250R, and then bought a '85 ATC250 brand new in August 1984 (one of the first ones in SoCal) that I still own & ride today. Arguably the most technologically advanced 3-wheeler ever mass-produced, so there has been no reason to replace it with anything!

Of course I have also owned a couple of street bikes ('82 Yamaha 550 Vision, '88 Honda Hawk GT 650), and of course I currently have a couple of other sand toys as well; '07 Honda TRX400EX for the kids and other people we take out to the dunes, and a '85 Yamaha BW 200 (great fun in the dunes), and my wife also rides a '85 ATC250R.

First bike my brother and I were 11 and 13, had a paper route and got a '79 RM80 for $100. We wonder now why our parents didn't stop such young kids from buying a machine like that haha. Rode that thing to hell and back. Always ran great. Jump to high school, my buddy finds an '84 YZ125 frame with wheels and a big box of parts for $30. So I grabbed that and fixed it while in small engine classes in school. Sold that and got into cars. Now I'm married and getting toys again. Got my '86 TR200 from a guy I work with in March '12, in a similar state to my YZ for $300. Fixed that and went back for an '86 Polaris Scrambler 250R/ES (P3). Here is where I sit now, my next toy was going to be a dirtbike, but now I have been infected. It's time for a 250R
