Old bikes (not females)

Corrected Carmine. No need to thank me.

 

I was going to put aged 16.

 

Kids bikes you either went the Budgie > Chopper route or Strika/Boxer > Grifter route.

 

I went rogue.

Budgie straight to Grifter.

No ****.

And let's no forget the Tomahawk, which was in between the Budgie and Chopper.

 

You are an exception to the rule Carmine.

I was Boxer > Grifter. Then my head was turned by BMX. Had 4 of the bastard things and many injuries at Costello BMX track.

 

I went from Grifter to BSA racer.

I was an ungrateful little **** and wasn't happy with it because it only had three gears.

My mum and dad must have saved up for ages for it as well.

Makes me feel ashamed to be honest.

 

Posh buggers the lot of youse.

Branded bikes indeed.

A silver sprayed frame, straightened forks. 3 speed hub. Cow horns. £10 max.

 

Cow horns - brilliant.

 

You all had bikes?

Spoiled bastards.

 

You still do.

 

I agree with Ernie and Happy. You are all a set of posh bastards having new bikes when you were kids. Not that I'm envious though.

 

I turned my nose up at a Capri 70cc scooter when I was 16 or 17, which is I suppose understandable in a way, for that I therefore got nowt until I received considerable assistance buying my first car 4 years later. You live and learn, but I did regret turning that scooter down.

 

I had a Grifter - weighed a ton.

Remember that weird foam covering on the handlebar cross-brace coming in useful for croggies.

 

My Raleigh chopper was second hand. Hope you feel better now.

 

Just a quick update on my mid life crisis
(It's a project)

 

Nice, Jesus look at the size of those discs

 

I know nothing about bikes glp but it's a 750, someone said the front disc isn't standard and maybe off a 1000cc

 

Learn as you go along. The best way. That way once you've got it road worthy you'll be a dab hand on the tools.

My mid life crisis projects are at a stand still - I'm putting them forward for late life crisis projects.
