Not sure if a bike your parents bought counts, but i still have honda atc70 [flames on tank] that they bought me when i was 5 [in 1976]

[JAP 454]

In 1981, I swapped my last Hagon JAP for a black XT 500, EA and I rode it all around the hills and rivers of the upper Abercrombie, I took our son Brian to Bathurst at Easter for the bike races on it , now, THAT is another story, Brian took over ownership of it in '89, rode it all around the fire trails back of Narooma as well as up to Sydney from Narooma to Tech. for a couple of years, he still owns it and rides it around regularly, I only just freshend it's motor for him, this year, re-bore and piston, cam-chain, valves, oil seals etc etc, a pretty good record for the old Black Beast and a tribute to regular oil/filter changes.

A Hagon Jap for an XT, shame on you Foss.
Not that there's anything wrong with XT's but that's sacrilige.
Say 10 hail mary's and go to bed early.

I know, Slides, I know, but it was a nearly brand new XT, the Hagon went to Jim and our house had just burnt down, so no more racing for a few years.

38 years. Kerr Bultaco, ex Kevin Patton. It's on the restoration agenda, then straight to the pool room. Julian Wigg rode it and reckoned it wobbled - he was right.
30 years. Wife - no restoration required, still in good nick and doesn't wobble

1977 Godden Weslake from Don Stafford Motorcyles. On the bench now being brought back to original condition. Glad I told a bloke to " get F*#&@%" in 1985 who offered me $100 for it.
