No actual pictures but here we go;
Bike #0.5 - Garelli Tiger Cross - why .5? Well when I bought it it ran but by the time I got it home it didn't and never really did again. I was 15 & did a sort of restoration but the intricacies of that highly complex 2 stroke motor were beyond me.
Bike #1 - Honda CB125 - bought from a sketchy used dealer on Chelsea High Street for £150 and ridden home in 80's era London rush hour traffic, no license or experience of course but I was 17 and invincible. Signed up at Apollo Messenger to be a courier (despatch rider in the UK) and killed it in about the 1st 8 months of riding deliveries all over Greater London.
After that it was a Suzuki 250 (1st new bike) and the rest is history as they say...
