Me and my bro. 1996. His first bike: a completely yellow/orange original 4-stroke Honda SS50. It lasted a few weeks before the tuning began. Me with a big smile, learning stuff and helping finding the right tools. I was 15. Judging by giving the finger, that must have been my mom that took the picture... I'm sure she'll forgive us :)
That same year I bought my first bike. A not so original Honda SS50, with 70cc kit and 22mm carb. It didn't run though and needed a lot of love. My dad helping, my brother inspecting and I, proud as hell. Bring on the skinny jeans, Dr. Martens and wax-coats filled with greasy tools.
Few years later and a lot of love, that same blue Honda ended up silver with a lot of neat parts and paint.
That green one my brother bought few years later, from a guy that owned a shop and had few new ones in the cellar. Why didn't I know that before? A well... this is were it all started.
