What was the first bike, trike, or quad you ever rode?

The first bike i ever rode was my fathers 1985 200x when i was 8 or so i started to learn how to ride. I am in the process of a full restore on that same trike now ! I wish i could make it feel as scary fast as it did when i was 8

On the farm I cut my teeth on a Ford 9N raking hay. Graduated to our 83 Honda 200s we used to chase cows up to the barn. My Dad gave me that machine a few years ago, glad to keep it with the family.

Mine was a friend's dirt bike. It was a Yamaha 125cc enduro two stroke from the early 1970's. I can't remember any more about it. I rode it across the alley from his garage, into the neighbor's yard where I killed it. I pushed it back because I was "done" riding. A few years later, I rode his grandpa's 1984 or 85 yfm200. I was hooked after that.

First atc was a '81 70 that I rode the snot outta. My sister and I got it as a christmas presant. I was 8 at the time. I ended taking it over ...
I later got sold because I was riding it where I wasnt supposed to- 20 miles from home lol
My dad had yt125 at one point, but I dont remember it really well.
Later I bought a sl100 honda - it was SLOW ! Sold it to buy other non runners, 79 Rm125, 78/79 YZ 400's and a 77? XL250.
Rode a Rokon Trailbreaker for awhile as a teenager. Still Have it, needs work.
Graduated to the KTM 500. Now that was a bike. To much power at any time to say the least and still needed more.....
Bought a honda 70 for christmas for my kid, then the 3 wheel craze started back up again.
Got a 200es a few months ago. It needs to become a 200x I think.
Traded for a 70 engine and alum wheels, turned out to be a whole bike and a bunch of parts.
Next day I bought another 70....

Honda Z-50 was my first mini bike ever... my brother and I got it for Christmas in like 76 or 77... We got it from Nash Brothers Honda in West Haven, CT. brand new off the show room floor! I loved that little bike.

The first motorized thing i rode was an arctic cat kitty kat snowmobile. I was very little so i dont remember alot about it but my parents told me i would ride down the trail then come running back. I did that a few times until my dad showed me how to turn around haha. My first dirt toy was a yamaha pw80 rode the hell out of that thing. Ive been hooked on riding anything with a engine since

[undertaker]

Pedal Big Wheel is the first thing I can remember riding, then a trail 70 mini my uncle let me ride when my parents weren't home. Thats when I got the fever. My parents forbid motor machines though it was nothing to get a 1000lb horse for Christmas. Go figure...

friends honda trail 50, next day told my mom i wanted one, she said we will keep an eye out in the paper and see what we find, 2 days later kawi kv75 shows up in the classifieds, i had the fastest bike in the neighborhood for the next couple years after that

First motorized toy I played around with a some friends' 50cc dirt bikes. I never rode any 4-wheelers prior to dusting off my decesed grandfather's 3-wheeler. I recently used a 4-wheeler for the first time, nothing much, just helping a friend pull out some fence posts. Sure seemed a lot more sturdy than my ATC, haha.

Oh second thought, I did ride a homemade go cart when I was like 8 or 10. That was fun.

First dirtbike my brothers 78 Suzuki rm 100. First 3 wheeler was an 84 Honda 125m. Smoked so bad I thought it was a 2 stroke.

[BowToYourSensei]

My first was a yamaha badger. It was 80cc with 3 gears and an automatic clutch. Not sure what year it was but I was 8 years old.

[Trike_crazy]

The first bike I can remember riding by myself was a honda mini trail that my dad bought for my step sister and me to ride. Unfortunately she wheelied it into the house a few times because she couldn't control the throttle and it got sold for a go kart. I had so much fun on that thing. I'll never be able to get one for a decent price but im always looking lol

The first "bike" I ever rode was a RUPP minibike. I think I was 9 or 10 (so around 1980). My dad had won a pair of them in a poker game, one in good condition, the other for parts. We rode that bike for several years. It was actually road-legal (headlight, brake lights, and if I recall right, turn signals), so my dad would even ride it to work occasionally. It was on this bike that I started learning small engine repair and engine principles. And was the first engine I ever rebuilt at age 12.

My first trike was a new-to-me ATC110 I bought from a friend around '85... It was modified for some extra speed and power: stroker kit, bored over, upsized carb. The over-boring was it's eventual downfall, as the cylinder head cracked where it slips into the engine block, causing the rings to catch and locking the engine. Another opportunity for a REBUILD, and learning another type of engine! This trike served me for maybe another year or so, until the aluminum clutch housing exploded (must have gotten some micro-cracks at some point) sending shards through the side of the case. And at that time, it wasn't worth rebuilding, so I sold it off for parts.

I've been sans-ATV ever since, until this past summer when I picked up another new-to-me '85 ATC110. Now I'm ready to share those same experiences with my kids!

I started on a little yellow Yamaha YZinger 50cc dirtbike. ( before they started calling them pw50) I got it for my 5th birthday and have been riding ever since. I started my oldest daughter out on a Suzuki jr50 . I Got it and then I girl'ed it up a little bit with pink decals and stuff.

My first ride alone on an engine was when i was 9 a 5hp moped unknown make ofcoarse lol than 2 years later a chinese motobravo 150cc auto, was my cousins, teared up the lot beside my grandparents house. Age 15 rode my first atc! 86 honda 250sx. Age 17 bought my own atc and got one free 200x couple. Tear up the dessert any chance now. Of coarse on open state land. not private land. Accidently trespassed one day. It was very embarassing.
