My first bike: 1956 James Cadet 150 cc 2ST bought for me in 1957. My first and last 2ST! It could do 80, but not much more even on a downhill. The forks would bend or break at the first sign of a bump or depression. Villiers engine very reliable. Took me and a pal to Middleburg from Pta in the winter (and back) on its longest trip.

But it gave me freedom.

Ek was Std. 5 toe kry ek n nuwe RM80.
Ons het hom dadelik van Suzuki Country na die plot toe gevat.
Ek het nie geweet van n power band nie, toe daai ding inskop to m@#r ek amper agter oor.
Later Oudtshoorn toe getrek, daar kon ons net agter die hospitaal gaan ry het.
Die bike het so geraas dat die mense in die omgewing altyd die polisie gebel het.
Ons get opgejaag na die dorp se Water Reservoir, en dit was n gesukkel.
Begin onder flat out in sesde rat en eindig op in eerste rat net net bo.
Daar was ons redelik veilig.

Ek het ook so een gehad! Geklink soos n swerm bye wat kwaad raak wanneer jy daai throttle draai

1978, in UK Casal K190 (50cc) like this but in gold, looked like shit but went like a bomb. It would beat any of the major brands hands down.
That was the road bike.

The Gilera was the off-roader

To be honest, I don't have pictures of me and my first bike. That was years ago before colour photography was invented.

My first ever bike was a KDX; but first ever DS bike with this beautiful Triumph Tiger which truly was a stunning bike.

Nie die actual pic nie, maar ek het hom gekry toe ek 9 was, wou nooit 'n offroad he nie, maar 'n bike soos my pa. Word toe een aand 10pm wakker met die bike in my kamer. Het hom tot in matriek gery voor ek 'n kar gekry het. Moes hom nooit aan my neef verkoop het nie. Sal hom graag wil terug koop. Toe 'n 1989 CR80, 1990 KX125, 1998 CR125, 2002 CR250R, 2007 KX250R en nou die 2012 XT 660z. Maar dis waar dit begin het:

Lekker memories - pel van my het ook lank so een gery skool toe en terug - het nog nooit weer so een gesien nie.
