Title: What was your first dirt bike?
Post by: umberto on January 15, 2015, 03:16:31 PM

Forgive me if this has been done before.  I was curious what everyone's first bikes were.  Mine was a Honda Mini Trail 50 like this one:

My first KX was the 1980 KX 80. What a great bike that was!

'60's Parilla 125 Wildcat Scrambler. Ex flat track bike. Turns out it was a rare color in the US but at that time it was just another worn out race bike cheap enough for a kid to buy with his own money. Worked on it a lot. Learned I did not want to live with Italian bikes!

My son and I have been working on a 1980 Z 50 that was one of my dirt bikes as a kid.  It has been a great learning and bonding experience.  About twice a year I try to find a clapped out bike to rehab and flip.  I usually make a little profit to keep the dirt bike habit afloat, but the experience of bonding with my son is worth so much more to me.   :-D
