MY first bike was a Lambretta LD150 which dad bought me when I was 14, with the promise that if I got it going he would buy me a proper bike
I got it going but he never get me a bike ....
Eventually through my paper round and a window cleaning round I cobbled together I bought a James Captain deluxe .. The deluxe part was because it had a pillion seat...
Got nicked on it ( under age , no test, tax or insurance ) and had to sell it.
A few months later I bought a Royal Enfield Bullet, ready for my 16th birthday ... Although registered as a 250 it was, of course, a 350 though I never realised at the time and only found out years later
So my first road legal bike was not quite as road legal as I thought !
Mine was £5 and was hand painted british racing green
