How about some pictures of your first bike, especially anything old and interesting?

When I was about 9 or 10 my dad bought and restored a bike for me to use on my grandparents farm. Sadly I don't have any photos, but it was a Suzuki, I think a B100P (but might have been a B120, virtually the same bike) and it was "converted" for off road use, so looked very similar to the (very rare) B105:

Spent many happy hours on that bike, and it was utterly reliable. It would stand in a barn for almost a year sometimes and still start almost immediately. The oil tank was missing, so had to premix the fuel. That was such a long time ago you could still get the attendant in the petrol station to put a couple of shots of two stroke oil into the tank when you bought the fuel.
