Hey everyone! Thought it’d be fun to start a nostalgia thread - what was your first bike? Doesn’t matter if it was a hand-me-down, a cheap starter, or your dream machine - we all remember that first taste of freedom on two wheels. Tell us: What was your first ride? How old were you when you got it? Any memorable stories or “learning moments”? And if you’ve got a pic, even better - let’s see it! I’ll start: My first bike was a Benelli TNT 135. It wasn’t the first bike I ever rode, but it was the first one I actually owned. I started out on dirt bikes, so hitting the road was a whole new experience for me. I’m a bit of a late starter - I didn’t get into road riding until I was 35 (better late than never, right?). My best mate finally talked me into getting my bike license, and I’ve been hooked ever since. After a few months on the Benelli, I upgraded to a CB650R once I started feeling more confident on the road - and honestly, I’ve never looked back. So, let’s hear it -what was your first love on two wheels?

Oh that really is a shame! Such a great looking bike. No doubt they will most likely release something different.

The answer is above.
