I was thinking about my J C last night and it made me laugh.

When I first got he James Captain. I think I was either 15 or 16 can't remember, it was a long time ago.

I used to ride in a field near my house. I wasn't safe to be let loose out on the road,

I still aren't if I come to think of it.

The throttle used to stick sometimes, because the throttle cable had started to fray. When I wanted to get out of this field. I had to come up a bit of an incline. I had to give it some throttle to get you up it and one day I came up this incline and the throttle stuck open. I came flying up and the front wheel wobbled as it landed on the floor and I realised I was heading straight for a pigeon loft at a fast pace of knots. (In them days they used to make pigeon lofts out of old doors and bits of pallet boards) The throttle was full open and I ended up inside the pigeon loft. It was just like a scene from George Formby. There were pigeons everywhere. They do say it's lucky when a bird shits on you, well they did bloody hundreds of em!!

I thought I'd share this silly moment with you all.

My first road bike was an FS1E well it was a 1M as it didnt have pedals but its the same beast.

It was the best fun ive ever had it got stolen and after I got payed out for it the police brought it back and I had spent the money on another bike (a GP 100). It still ran after its ordeal but they had snapped the gear lever and dumped it.

It was blue like this one.

My first bike was a shared Yammy 80 field bike which looked like this only in a far worse condition.

My first legal road bike was, of course, the fizzie in popsicle purple but without indicators, they were an optional extra.

Then it was onto the RD 250C which I managed to have for a month from brand new before having a head-on with a VX490.

I got the RD back after 3 months in the bike shop, but as I still couldn't ride yet my brother borrowed it on the day I got it back and put it through a hedge.

I got rid after that and got myself a CB 750K6. This is me on it in 1977 with the obligatory Lionel Blairs.

Cool , my first bike was a black MBX50.
Done around 45mph with a micron exhaust on it.

My brother had the black MBX50, but when I wrote my 80 off for the third and final time I inherited it and put the 80 in the 50.
