Good that your interest in bikes and cars has served you well.

My first experience on something with 2 wheels and an engine was riding a knackered out 2 stroke Garelli scooter around my mates farm when I was about 14 or 15 - throughly enjoyed it.

Oddly enough I did not really get bitten by the bike bug until I found that I could ride a bike for pleasure and use a car for commuting.

I PXd my T140 Tiger for my first car (a Triumph Toledo), and shortly afterwards bought a 68 T120R Bonnie, the rest as they say is history...
