Amusements Posted October 5, 2019 Report Share Posted October 5, 2019 I always wanted a chopper. I ended up with a Chipper. It was a lot better than my first bike though - That had solid rubber tires and instant brakes that made you go over the handlebars if you pulled the front brake instead of the back! Treat every day like your last, because one day it will be! Fruit Machine <<<My new project! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

niallquinn Posted October 28, 2019 Report Share Posted October 28, 2019 I've got a bike, you can ride it if you like. It's got a basket, a bell, and things to make it look good. I'd give it to you if I could, but I borrowed it. NQ. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

serene02 Posted October 28, 2019 Report Share Posted October 28, 2019 The Budgie is where it was at!! It was a kids bike but wow, it was so light... and easily damaged. I think my cousin had a Boxer or Striker. I had a raleigh Burner BMX with yellow mag wheels, my mate had the ultra burner, I was jealous as his was basically completely chrome underneath the gold transparent paint!!

yippee Posted October 4, 2020 Report Share Posted October 4, 2020 I collect them. I have 14 now. Mostly stuff from the 90s and very early 2000s when I use to ride semi pro. [img]https://i.imgur.com/58dXFOa.jpg?1[/img] Was the last restoration I did. Finished it about two weeks back. [img]https://i.imgur.com/aSUrBgG.jpg[/img] Finished that one about two months back. That's usually how long it takes my slow old ass to fully restore a bike now. [img]https://i.imgur.com/AUFUlSh.jpg[/img] That was a new build. And some of the rest... [img]https://i.imgur.com/pABsFr2.jpg[/img] And what I actually get around on. [img]https://i.imgur.com/wdmTtuo.jpg?1[/img] 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
