Don't recall if this was asked before but what was the first bike you ever rode and the first you ever owned.

First one I rode was a little Benelli 50cc. in 1970.

First one I owned was a 66 BSA Hornet A65H in 1972.
 
First I rode: V-Star 1100 cruiser.
First 'owned': I guess I'm not truly the owner of anything. I make payments and not ashamed to do so.
 
First rode solo a 1968 Puch 250 street bike. ( i was ten )

First owned a 1973 Honda 350 street bike.
 
Honda 50 purchased new with paper route money in 1960. Got a bigger paper route, sold it and bought a Honda 150 Benley.
 
When I was 14, I bought a Yamaha 350 with my lawn mowing and paper route money. I don't remember what year model it was, but it was the year before they came out with the RD 350. Before it was over I had put expansion chambers and had the heads milled, it was a Honda 750 slayer for a 1/4 mile. After that I was looking at it's tail lights.
 
First ride: Honda 50cc trail bike in 1987
First owned: 1976 Yamaha XS500 which I still have
 
First bike I rode a Honda Mini-Trail 50cc.


I was 8 and my dad bought two nonrunning bikes and built one that ran. I'll have to see if I can find a pic of it.

First bike I owned was a 1970 Triumph Bonneville T120 I bought in 1999 at 23 years old. It took about a year to restore.

The first one I road was a Maverick 50. Mom made sure I new I didn't own it. My first motorcycle was a 1974 Honda CL 175 that I used on a paper route when I was 13-15 years old.

My dad started me when I was 5 on a Honda 50 like pig9r's, except mine was one of the fast red ones.
