My history of bikes and some random pics!

[calistheman]

Because I'm really bored at work, thought I'd post some pics and a history of my bikes through the years lol.

First bike I got in 1990 and was a Puch Magnum X 50. This isn't mine, just some photo off Google, didn't have digicams back then



Then in '93 I got a 1986 KX80 for Christmas. Didn't get much use and I sold it when I was 12. Again, not my bike



I then lost interest in MX and rode a lot of BMX. Finally picked up an Xsport Mk1 120cc in November 2005 after a good 8 years without a motorcycle. It had many different incarnations and colour schemes! Presented in chronological order....

Nice KX colourway



Then got these disgusting looking tyre and graphics combo lol

This eventually was treated to some better plastics lol



Then I really went to town on kitting the bike out with awesome bits! Then I sold it lol




After I sold this in late 2006 I fancied another go at MX so bought a 2003 YZ125. However due to my dads work commitments and the fact a leaky rad hose meant I blew it twice in 4 rides, it never got used much lol.






I had the itch for another mini so picked up an Xsport CR3 pretty cheap in 2007. Had to sell it fairly soon though to pay for something else lol.






I then got this FK1 from John in November 2008. Had a few rides as stock (except graphics)...




Then really went to town on it. The motor in this bike was a YX140 I bought off Mart35 that was frankly insane lol.








I sold the FK1 this summer to buy my current ride, a 1987 CR 250. It looks better now, just spent £400 on it in the last week :s




I also just sold my monkey bike project...started off like this...



Then decided to strip and rebuild it with lots of new parts..ended up like this, but unfinished before I sold it to fund my MX season.

I went to W'Birt when it first opened and thought it was pretty cool, but a bit too tight for the midsize really. Tormarton was good, went a couple of times, nice jumps, but again too short lap times, I mainly rode my minis on MX tracks.
