O/T - Memory Lane - Raleigh Chopper

There was a thread on here before about this fine machine! I think it must have been lost in the last 'General Strike' (sorry couldnt resist).

Just seen a new Chopper today for the first time in a local Halfords - BOY! Did the memories come flooding back.....dodgy handling, lousy brakes, painful butt and wheelies for as long as you like !!!!

I even remember wearing my brothers leather yellow with black and white blocks Yam*ha jacket !!!

The new one sadly does not have the top bar mounted gear shifter - I remember some daft euro law being mentioned. Likewise the saddle is not a long as I remember but, grip shift type change and proper 'V' brakes look well impressive.

But I dare not put another bike in the house - lol

Happy Memories
