I wish I still had mine,so who all had one then?:biggrin:

arf arf :yes:

Found it lol

 

 

now i know where the wildcat idea came form lol!

Never had the chopper,but was'nt going to outdone on the handle bar front so put the biggest cow horns on my racer,good for wheelies.

Think they did a small chopper for smaller kids the tomerhawk?

ihad one of these before the chopper

 

Were they all red,i think i recall seeing another colour?

yes mine was black

 

Never had one :( Had a mate do his nads on the gear stick of his though, that was funny.

 

oh yes i remember that happening :pinch::pinch: used to have a habbit of slipping out of gear :ohmy::ohmy:

I am not as old as some of you :laugh: I had a Raleigh Burner BMX! (more 80's)

 

yep my mate had one identical to that my bmx was red and white :D

Found it lol

 

 

AH, thats were the styling of the Sinclair C5 came from !

 

Not only playing cards with pegs for noise, don't forget the 5ft fibreglass car ariel !

And the gravel rash gained while racing your mates and running out of talent mid corner :)

i remember one kid in school that had a chopper,the handlebars were blobbed thick with arc welds,kept snapping them jumping ramps and his dad would re-weld them lol,I remember the Grifter and Burner too,there was another well known bmx aswell,silver/chrome and bronze frame?

Yep, I had one. No gears. And there was an even smaller one for tots called the "Budgie" which only had a front brake, istr.

 

The Grifter was the bomb, even though it weighed a ton. I had a blue one and it was my favourite bike ever.

There all before my time and i wouldnt been seen dead on one :lol:
