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 ???

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!

And before that the little yellow siren attached to your handle bars, had a little red button and you could interchange the siren noises between a Police car, Fire engine and an Ambulance!! Back then they had individual noises to set them apart

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)

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.
