BIKES, BIKES, BIKES - that's all I hear is BIKES...
My first bike aged 5.....well ... my first sit on one. I can't touch the pegs yet though.
The bike looks like a BSA X35-0 149cc
but I don't have a photo of a 250 so can't be sure. My
Dad was a musician and rode this bike with his saxophone
strapped to his back regularly from Birmingham to Norwich for weekend gigs so I would be surprised
if this is a 149cc model.
Now this was my first real bike.... ha ha !!

My Mom's BSA Dandy moped, complete with tyre hand pump!

This was the only bike my Mum would allow me to own.
Didn't last long though!!
