1. early 80's honda roadPal 50 (scooter my dad bought to commute to work - he never did and i have the scars to prove it was not a dirt bike!! but was all i had.) had it from about 83-88 never ever serviced it (unless topping up the oil counts!)
2. 88 kx80 big difference to a 50cc scooter, almost broke my back on the first ride! battled to keep it running and also had a growth spurt that made it too small for me 88 - 92
university and work
3. 82 xr200 awesome bike, felt way too fast for me when i got it and decided to upgrade when i was riding it flat out all the time a few years later 99-2003
4. 2003 cr250 (first new bike) awesome bike, big change from the xr and a realization that there had been some major suspension evolution in the 20 years between the bikes 2003-2006
5 2006 kx250 (new) proposed to my wife and thought i should reward myself with a new bike while i still had absolute control of my finances - modded this bike as much as possible for extreme enduro type riding 2006-2010
6. 2010 gasgas ec300 (New) finaly realised that mx bikes will always be mx bikes, get the bike that suits the type of riding you want to do! 2010 -
7. 2001 Montessa Cot 315 trials bike - nice to play with, but two small babys meant i had little time to do it - sold it to pay entry to Roof of Africa, but a rowing machine (for Roof of africa) and buy an Oset 16 for my son
