Your First Bike Ever

I had one of these too, wish I still had it. 😁. I did can the banana seat for a small saddle seat. View attachment 244152

I think this could have been the bike a kid who lived around the block from me in Metuchen had back in the '70s. I did recall it was yellow and full suspension and I was so envious. The kid was a dick but the bike was so cool. Hope that wasn't you. LOL.

It wasn’t me. 😄. It was a Yamaha Moto-bike. Bought at Action Yamaha, probably around 1975 or 1976.

1975 and 1976 is when I was living in Metuchen so this must be the same bike. Wow, almost 50 years ago.

One just like this Ross Apollo 3 speed, though mine was a burnt orange color.

Yes!!!

This was my first bike. Well actually hand me down from an older brother. Man that thing was cool!!!

After that was more hand me downs including some way-too-big-for-me Ross 10 speeds

the first non-second-hand bike was a mongoose Californian
