Mine was a Banana Bike I got the summer I finished 5th Grade. It was yellow to boot! Rode it dawn till dusk (stopping only for meals).
p.s. picked ahead of one of the cars I've owned on the "value for money" factor :P
This is not my bike.. mine has dark brown n sandalwood color.

Can you speed up on that thing. Where is the open road? aren't there always a gazillion people on the raod back home (or did you ride it somewhere else!).

with 18+ bhp.. at that point in time, la350 was the fastest indian bike on roads, I've managed to go post 160 many a times(may b with a speedo error of 5-6 ). I could take on almost any Indian bikes... have it from post graduation days.. our bikiers group had suzuki shoguns , pulsars n some modified yamahas (dont think of the super bikes :) they were just half super bike lookalikes)
I could take on anyone right from the trafic signals.. just that braking was a bit of a problem in short distance.. I would always skid n stop.
Later during work I was used to getting back from work in the late evenings.. and some good wide roads on the way back..race wid fellow drifters.. n have an ego boost. :D
oh n it was a pre launch vehicle so some extra power.. they made only 35 of them..
BTW Thanks for the topic conc :d though it makes me nostalgic.. terrific to think abt it..

Can be a car, motorbike, push bike, whatever.. And just to make it interesting you have to take into account value for money as well as fun and street credibility. [color=red]And it must be something you or family owned rather than a fantasy.[/color]

2002 Ducati 998. A marvelous piece of machinery. Sadly no longer with us :(
More recently, I was lucky enough to have an Masda MX3. Much more understaed sports car and [I think] the smallest V6 of all production cars ? Only had an 1.8i in it, but was so light and responsive, it could taken on a few porsches and suburus [albeit cr@p drivers] !
Sold it for a deposit on my flat !

Pic wasn't taken by us. In Sydney, there is this road called the Old Pacific Highway (aka Old Road). Its basically a windy raod that takes you from northern parts of Sydney to Gosford, a good 30-40km run of twists and turns (and fun!). As this road was popular with bikes & sports cars there was always a photographer on this particular corner that took shots of everyone passing by. We stopped by one day and asked if we could get copies of these pics, and he gave us a website to look at them, hence where I got these photos from (Deenopix). I think the image above with us in it ended up on one of his ads :D

Your car needs more character. Having the same car as Jeremy Clarkson is not enough.

GT this car was for sale but the 'buyer retracted it' was it this thread that made you change your mind? I miss my old car, wish i didn't sell it.

Hehe, technically my kid brother bought it, but I've poured enough money into it to be a part-owner. We have half a mind to sell it, but only until I save up enough for something juicier as replacement. The ad was placed by my bro's friend without permission.
