    1979 YZ 80 at 14 years of age, $600 bucks, my money earned trapping. No time on mini-bikes, trikes, carts nothing. Talk about baptism by fire. Had to rebuilt it myself in the basement a year later when the rod bearing went.

    My first toy was a minibike, tough little thing. Wasn't that fast but it hauled my tail through anything I ran it through.

    First 3 wheeler was an 84 200es.

    First roadable bike was a '78 XL250s.

    First real dirtbike was a '75 Husqvarna 400.


    You wanna talk about a change? I didn't ride that XL very much before I sold it, and went straight to the Husqvarna. Me not having much experience with bikes jumping on this TINY(about as small as a modern 80, but alot shorter) 400cc two stroke. I felt like I was riding a rocket that had murder in it's heart.
    This is my trike. There are many like it but this one is mine. My trike is my best friend, and it is my life. I must master it as I must master myself. My trike without me is useless. Without my trike, I am useless. I must ride my trike true. My trike and I know that what counts is not the amount of miles we ride, but the time we ride together. My trike is human in it's own ways, therefore I will learn it as my brother. I will learn it's weaknesses, it's strengths, it's parts, and it's soul.

    I had a Yamaha PW80 and I loved that thing! I wish I still had it xD

    '84 T3 red Parts bike
    '84 T3 green (runner)
    '85 Tecate with an LT250r in it
    '04 Kawasaki KX250F

    Don't blame the ride, blame the skill.
