Who Rode Dirtbikes When You Were A Kid?

I rode a yz 80 had a metal tank back then and loved every minute of it. I remember that if I knew I was going to crash I would put myself between the bike in the ground to protect the bike. I figured I would heal and it would take my dad forever to fix the bike. But man, I loved riding that thing.

What did ya'll ride?
 
My dad bought me a honda 50 minibike back in 1977 .... I still have it

I bought my kids two honda 4 speed 70 trikes .. they are so cute , tiny little things that sit about 18 inchs off the ground , kids have a blast on them just in first gear
 
I rode my friends bike once but my parents never had the money to buy me one. We had 100's of acres behind our house that I could have had a blast. I still do want one but there aren't many places to ride around here anymore.
 
my first dirt bike was a honda crx 80
then I got a yammha 125
sold that and got a
sasukee 250
after that I sold the gike and got a car.
 
I had atleast 6-8 different bikes growing up and i raced a few times as a kid.The most memorable one was a brand new Kawasaki KX 80 that i rolled off the showroom floor.I was around twelve years old.I still remember my Father asking "so you like this one?" "well then roll it out to the truck"
I still have a three inch scar on my ankle from that bike. :sigh:
 
I had a honda 200 that I didn't take care of, and it slowly died. Motor just ran shittier and shittier until one day it wouldn't even start. After that I bought a kawasaki 150 from a friend for $50 clams. The first day I had it, I gunned it for all it was worth, popped the clutch, and the fuckin' thing took off from right under me, popped a wheelie, and flipped over backwards. That was the end of the taillight. Too many good times on that thing to recall. It all ended one day when I was going around the corner on the street, someone called my name, I looked backwards to see who it was, all the time I'm looking I was headed toward the curb. By the time I looked forward again the tires were parallel to the curb and I started tipping to the left. I tried to turn to the left so I wouldn't tip, the wheel got caught on the curb, and I tipped over just in time to run my face into a bush, at about 25mph.
Apperently the guys that called me later told me that they couldn't see what happened since a house obstructed their veiw, but they seen me go around the curb, disappear behind a house, and then they heard my bike go "wheeeeeeee!" real loud (I'm guessing after the bike tipped over and the wheels no longer touching the ground the engine rpms had nothing holding them back).
To make a long story longer, those dudes came running over to see what happened, and I was pretty dazed. They told me I'd better go to the hospital, I was like, "naww, I'm ok". They said, "No, you better go" all while looking at me with these "holy shit" looks on their faces.
I jumped on the bike, which was sputtering and popping now, and headed for the hospital. By the time I got there my shirt was all full of blood that dripped off my face and blew onto it from the wind. I get to the reception desk at the hospital, and the lady asks me "Do you need some help?"
I should've said, "Nah, I'm just here to visit someone". Anyway, 14 stitches later, I was back on my bike for what would turn out to be one of my last rides ever. Turns out the engine somehow got damaged, since it just sputtered and popped since the crash, like there was a blown head gasket or something. I tried getting it going, but it would just bog out everytime I tried to give it gas. So it just sat for about a year getting rusty, then I sold it to a junkyard for about $20.
I got my driver's license sometime after that and I've been in cages ever since.
 
one of the few "family" things my father did with me and my brothers was dirt bike riding in the bonne carre spillway, 20 miles outside of new orleans. we had honda mini trails and then sach trail bikes.

the dirt bikes led to a couple of street bikes (400 and 750 suzies). after getting ran off the road twice in the same day by suburban housewives in huge station wagons; i took the hint and bought a 4000 pound car i could fight back with.

What is "RE"?

Btw you were in "On Any Sunday II"?
 
Does buying a 175 Suzuki at age 21 count as being a kid? I was (and still am) a big kid back then. About all I really managed to do on it was break my left arm though. Did have some good times with my friends in Wyoming just cuttin across ranches, prarries and hittin the river beds with them.

its my goal...2 wheels or four...i dont care. :p
 
bought my first bike when I was around 10 or 11 with my paper money, it was called a Rupp. It was a pull start with a Briggs and straton engine. Damn I was so proud of that thing. Rough ride though LOL.

Then I moved on to dirt bikes and three wheelers as I got older
