first bike

[fireblake]

Mine was a Honda XL250s. It went 75 flat out and did high 70's to the gallon, I think. The thing could wheelie vertical. I used to dump the clutch and it would stop once vertical. Bloody huge front wheel, which I'm sure was the reason I crashed it. A strong sidewinder blew me into the curb and me and my pillion slid down the road right up to the car coming the other way. He promptly reversed off my bike and carried on regardless.
