In the next issue of AMCN we will print our favourite six entries. Five will receive an Oxford helmet bag, and the photograph we judge to be the best will win an IPONE Care Kit to keep their pride and joy looking like new.
To be in the running, send us a photograph of the first bike you proudly called your own. If you don’t have a photo of the first, make it one of the first.
Email your entry to comps@amcn.com.au with the subject line Reader’s Ride competition. Be sure to add your full name, address and 25 words or less about your bike.
Here are the winners from last issue
My first roadbike was a Suzuki Katana, shown here at the Long Flat Rally around 1984. Glenn Woodward
Mine was a Honda CB100. No pics available because my parents were not keen, but it looked like this. My little CB100 was metallic bronze. Stuart Bell
I bought my Honda CB350 new in the early 1970s. It’s packed ready to ride from Queensland to Garden Island naval dockyard. I knew nothing about long-distance riding and I ended up freezing on the New England Highway! Dave Kenny
Playtime on my little ’73 Kawasaki G5E100. I loved this little bike – I even rode it at Tivoli MX track on some practice days. Ian Jones
This photograph was taken in 1969. I’m sitting on the first bike I ever owned, a 125cc BSA Bantam. Robin John
My FZR was the first of the model to be released in Australia. I placed an order as soon as I read about it. Had to wait four months to ride it! Peter Haydon
My first ride, a 1973 Honda 500/4. This pic was taken on the first day of our long love affair, April 1973. I’m still riding it to this day. Garry ‘Guido’ Phillips
Mum and dad wouldn’t let me get a bike, so I found a guy who let me take over his loan on a Yamaha TX650. I paid $10 a fortnight. Chuck Thrillseeker
