For all you late 20's early 30's people
Does anyone have a picture of those yellow electronic sirens that went on your Grifter/Tomahawk/Chopper/Burner handlebars, they played different noises, sirens and maybe a bomb drop (in a nice 80's way)
I am trying to show the youth at work what real growing up was all about

Ahh the memories! I used to crush a quenchy cup and jam it in between my back tyre and my brake sounded like a Ducatti! Wore the tyre down proper quick though.

Oh man, thats the bollocks.
Did any of you guys used to ride over a coke can with your front wheel so it went round and jammed up by your forks and made your bike sound like a motorbike??
Also, making unsafe ramps from bits of wood and bricks. A foot long but 5 bricks high!!

The other cool thing is that I still live in the village where I grew up, so Beccy regularly gets guided tours of all my childhood haunts.
Remembering some of the stuff I did does scare me sometimes too now that I have some common sense.
I remember how we used to go absolutely tearing down this hill and straight through the woods without stopping. Now I just think what could have happened if someone had been walking there!!

Who had one of these plastic dream machines, I could only dream of owning such a street hawk wanabee
and whilst browsing for this beauty I came across something very special that I had when I was younger, wouldn't be allowed now as too many of today kids would eat them and sue the company who made them
