I am choking on my sandwich.......

 

Aint that the truth!

I had one of those yellow siren things too, as did my cousin, but he went one better and had INDICATORS on his bike

 

Does anyone remember 'BMX Beat' that was on saturday mornings and week mornings in school hols?

 

Of course, with Andy Ruffell

 

 

OMG i wanted one of them yellow sirens Soooooooooooo bad when i was a kid

One of my spoilt mates had one on his grifter and thought he was the daddy

I had an old beaten up racer that i turned the handlebars up the other way and turned it into a proper wheelie machine!!

Another mate had a blue Bomber...anyone remember them ???

 

LOL all the punks where I lived had racers with the bars upsidedown

Afew older lads had black Bombers, they thought they were the DADDIES

 

Also had a Chopper.... 3 speed with the gearchange in front of the huge soft comfy seat big enough for yourself and 2 mates !!!

Gave mine a proper customise by fitting 2 CB ariels to the back of it and a huge battery powered spot light on the handlebars !!!!

 

I had a Raleigh Striker with a car aerial on the back

 

wot about the coathanger sizes on the spokes,and the lollie pop sticks

 

What a good find well done.. I use to have a skyway tear drop untill some git broke into my garage wile at work and nicked it about 4 years ago. i had had it since i was 15 im now 31 but still p'ed off about it going.

 

Does anybody remember the discs you used to get that totally covered the back wheel??

There were all sorts of different designs available and you could then put stickers and stuff on them?????

 

I remember them, my ccusin had some on his bmx, they were shite mainly due to when you did a jump or bunny hop the rim would flex but they wouldnt, so you got a lovely loud bang everytime you landed!

 

How trivial.....

 

Old school bmx's suck. They sucked when they came out and they still suck now!

 

bet you cant do that on a grifter

 

I bet you MASTERBATE watching DAVE MIRRA videos.

 

Found this old bike at the back of my garage was mine when I was 7 in 1977

Now THAT is worth big cash!

 

ŁŁŁŁŁŁŁŁŁŁŁŁŁŁŁŁŁŁŁŁŁŁŁŁŁŁŁŁŁŁŁŁŁŁŁŁŁŁŁŁŁŁŁŁŁŁŁŁŁŁ ŁŁŁŁŁŁŁŁŁŁŁŁŁŁŁŁŁŁŁŁŁŁŁŁŁŁŁ...........There going for about Ł200-Ł300.

 

bloody hell I had one of those

 

and the hollow road noise you got with them

 

And for those of us who could n,t afford a costly machine that made noises on our bikes..............We made do with a PEG AND PLAYING CARD. My brother gave me a DEAD ARM for stealing 4 cards from his NAKED GIRLS DECK.

 

Only when i'm feeling especially fruity.

 

What,s your fettish???? STREET,DIRT OR VIRT ? DENNIS MCOY IS THE MASTER.

 

Street.

 

And we all know what the best bike for STREET is don,t we..........






















RALEGH ULTRA BURNER I,LL GIVE YOU FIRST OFFER.

 

I remember doing a wheelie once and my handle bars snapped and I fell forward and tumped my c**k on the cross bar......Ouch.....

 

Haha, I would buy it but I would probably snap every single part on it the first time I tried to hop it

 

remember when the chain used to cum off & the pedle used to spin round & hit you in the shin

or you used to jam your foot in the back wheel for a better brake & mother used to go mental for wrecking a decent pair of plimsoles (road slappers)

 

Ive got a menace mongoose, unsure of how old it is but cant find any more like it?




I think it's about 12/13yr old?

 

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM TRICK NUTS.

 

so did I.

I also had a raleigh burner too

anyone remember the Grifter - it had gears on the handlebar that you twist round.

My bro had the ol skool chopper

 

what were the wheels you could put in the freezer to straighten them out , mags of some sort i cant remember the name.... but i still bear the scars from being beaten by my mum for having both wheels in the freezer with the door open cos it wouldnt shut


ohhh the good old days.....


i still remember my mate riding down the stepist hill in our area, going like stink....jumped off the kerb and his front wheel came off... his forks dug into the ground the wheel carried on for miles

 

They were called Z RIMS.If you did a sidewards bunny hop and landed on the back wheel,it used to bend then pop back.Repeat this about 20 times and the rim becomes buckled.Hence putting them in the freezer overnight to straghten them out.

 

Right,was up in the loft again today nosing around and came across this.My christmas present from 1983.




DUKES OF HAZZARD SCALEXTRIC. ORIGINAL DRIFT KING.

 

i bet thats worth a few quid now

 

i sooooooooo want that lol

 

and before that one was race n chase! with the jump in it

who's still got one then?

got about 40 old handhelds, like munchman,frogger, all the tomy 3d's including the one that probably led the way to gran turismo of today "thundering turbo" oh and don't forget this one! god knows how many hours i spent under the quilt with this

 

find some of these in that loft and i'll buy em!!! especially if its like the box in the middle
