How would you describe the feeling you got when you first...

When you first rode?
AND
When you first went full throttle?

Cheers

thankfully it was on a suzuki TS 50.

so full throttle wasnt exactly warp speed.

Scared and Scared. Brand new RS125, never rode a bike before and they just let me loose after a few hours training.

first bike i ever drove by myself, was a dt 125 and was a bit scary, was dark, but loved when i first bought my bike, and went down enbankment and just opened it up and lovely. just recently went on my mates ZXR400 and that thing was awesome, just pulled and pulled and pulled, grinning from ear to ear

I was 7 when the Old Man bought me my first bike a YZ80. Bloody brilliant bike although my Dad had no idea how powerful it was. I remember him getting home with and thought he'd show me and my brother what he'd got us and took off up the the only for the front to lift when he wasn't expecting it to. He came back in a bit concerned about what he'd just bought.

Anyway he took us to the local MX track for our first solo ride and told us we had to go very slow other wise we'd be eating dirt. We took it slow for the first hour or so then my Dad said he wanted another go "to decoke the engine" and went for a rip reving the bloody knackers off it. When he handed it back to me I just copied him and took this thing flat out across the field by the side of the track

and I've never looked back since.

Very nervous! Booked to do my das just over 2 years ago, having never ridden a bike.

I think it took me about 15 mins to get off the drive, the 1st time i took mine out

Felt so big after the 125!

1st time i went over a ton just about crapped myself lol, funny how now it doesn't seem that fast.

Full throttle? Why that would just be the kind of irresponsible behaviour I would expect from you stereotypical bikers! Shame on you. Accelerate gently to a safe speed giving full consideration to other road users. Your a disgrace to your parents and all that is good about blighty!
