[Pervert]

We're just jealous, mate!

[Deuce Bigolo]

Don't forget the Heart Rate Monitor,the Six Pack Crash Helmet(Australian Made) & any brightly colored(lime green,yellow,pink,orange) lycra outfit thats waterproof so the motorists can see what they've hit when you come hurtling onto the freeway unexpectedly

cheers

PS For the record Magoo I had a Purple Malvern Star Dragster...if you hit the ramp just right and lent back you could do a 270 no problems

Then I had a ten speed racer(brandname-made in china)
Rode it all through highschool-nobody told me to pump up the tyres(I've never been that bright) so I just rode around with flats for five years(20kgs worth of books on the back)

Oh, a Saracen Havoc! there 10 a penny round our way Holden,lol now have you got your hoody and menacing face sorted out?
My first bike was a raliegh challenger or some shit like that, I remember going to Lyme Park with my mate on it (magoo will know it) 4 of us got on it and came down the hill from the house to the entrance (about 3/4 mile) all went well till I let go the handlebar, then all went to hospital, with broken ankle, knocked out teeth and various other injuries, oh the fun we had.
now I stick to motors.I hope you will be happy with it.

I started off on a three wheeled tricycle (does that count?). Then I had a little scooter type thing.....not like the ones that where all the rage & couple of years ago, them big metal things (funny how scooters seem to come in & out of fashion). Then had a small bicycle which was fun which I learnt to ride in my friends back garden. Used to whizz round my small village on it.....great fun! Then I did not have a bike for awhile til my Mum brought me a cheap racer type thing.....& I mean cheap, I used to belong to a club & some folks had bikes that cost a couple of hundred quid & there was me with my cheapo bike....real embarrassing!!

Not sat on a bike for years until a few weeks ago while on holiday in France.

My first bike was a spazzy little BMX Turbo....don't ask as I've never seen another.
I should have just got a BMX Raliegh or Mongoose but alas, finances didn't stretch that far.
Eventually, the peddle joint (whatever the techy term is) got busted and it became a permenant resident of MacGroyn Basements.
I did however recently, clear the basement on order from the old dear, and lo & behold....I came across my BMX. The foam padding still around the bar to prevent you from cracking your skull open on a failed BMX bandits style jump.
Hard to read as it was a bad case of graphics...Tucho? Turco?
For years I thought it was Turcho, til some bright spark said "Ere lemme 'av a go on ya BMX Turbo."
Slag.
Sitting there covered in dust and looking like a piece of shit, still brought a tear to my eye.

Some 15 years later, I got a mountain bike on the cheap. A Claude Butler which is meant to be ok. It lives in the other halfs shed now.
Kinda like at school. When you had a new mate, you'd tell the other ones to fuck off and that's how my old bike feels.

Back to my original point, anyone in the London area fancy doing so extreme shit?
Come on guys, surely there must be someone out there who is a bit of an adrenal junkie?

What like having a dump on top of a multi story acar park?

[Holden MacGroyn]

Not on top of one, but from one...shit thru the sun roof of some wanker in a Merc.

[del boy]

now that is some extreme shit!

I REALLY wanted a Raleigh Chopper when they came out in 71, but my stingy step dad was a bit handy with modifying bikes and built me one with a banana seat and ape-hanger handlebars, he attatched a set of Sturmy Archer gears and it went like the wind. I did still want a chopper because of the great gear stick and massive reflector mounted at the back of the 'leather-look' seat, and they were so vibrant with poncy colours, but the best was the massive difference of the 2 wheels.
I FINALLY managed to blag a 'go' on a mate's, and it was like cycling a tractor, it weighed a ton. He wanted shut of it as like so many other kids, had fallen from the saddle and damaged his nads on the gearstick. They are worth a fair few quid now, you know!!
