| Nice thread....this is bringing back fond memories of those innocent days when stress was unheard of.....
First bike was a little tin 3 wheeler that I had when I lived in Malaysia as a nipper. The sort with the 'cranks' & pedals welded to the front axle. Played for hours on that until my older brother pushed drawing pins through the seat and left them scattered over the path, which I then ran over......Nice Eh!!!!
Raleigh Tomahawk - Was too small for a chopper so I got a Tomahak in Red.
That ended in tears too after my big brother undid the headset as a childhood prank (can you spot the commeon theme here???). I wheelied off a kerb and the forks fell out causing me to slam into the tarmac. A huge 'Wiley Coyote' style lump appeared on my forehead and after a coupled of days on it getting bigger and blacker I was taken to hospital to find I'd fractured my
skull.
Laser Custom Racer - First racing bike I had. 12 speed, Black with gold components.....My Big Bro had a matching one.....We went everywhere on those......
Pro-Star MX1 BMX - Got bitten by the BMX bug early on and went 'berm-ing' it everywhere I could. Upgraded that to a Hutch Timmy Judge. That was my full-on bling-mobile. Think I spent more on that in bling add-ons than I have on my Duke.
Ah, them were the days................  |
