With so many lifers and different generations posting on here, I think it would be cool to see everyone's earliest moto pics of themselves. I'll start. 1981, 3 years old, JR50. And GO!

Late '94, early '95. Was terrified of bikes when I was little after being put on my big brothers RM125, and never really wanted a bike. Then I turned 5, asked for a bike, and it was all downhill from there. Dad, me, and Kyle. I was 5 at the time and Kyle would have been 8.

Shitty quality, I know. Its a picture of a picture.

Must be '87 or '88. This must have been a few days after Christmas, as the bike's still brand new, in the field behind our house. Wish I still had the Dave Thorpe replica helmet... I learnt to keep my tongue IN my mouth pretty quick... and yes those are proper old fashioned "leathers"... pops wasn't to great at keeping up with the latest trends...

My first race next to my Uncle who got me into dirt bikes. This was either at hollister or hangtown in 94 because I was probably 4 or 5. Same Uncle who started me out when I was probably 3 and half by putting me on a Suzuki 80cc and ran along next to me lol i was terrified. My mom soon bought me that 50 instead of letting him put training wheels on the 80

Me at 3 (1986), grandfather built training wheels so we could ride with the older cousin's


After changing hands a few times I managed to land the exact bike I grew up riding, now sitting in my garage waiting for a rebuild.

Airing out the RM125 at Alan Kings practice track (I was told).. Lots of broken frame on that bike.

Lil' Grape's first bike, first ride.




Of course I really wanted an XR, but got the XL. It didn't take long to strip all of the "XL" off the bike.
