remember the grifter had a little mudflap you could tuck up on the tyre to make it sound like a motorbike, well almost!!!:o


don't forget the raleigh striker with a pedal back brake, forever asking your dad for a new rear tyre

Got a red tomahawk then a green striker with pedal back brake which was like a single speed mini grifter :cool:

Then when I was about 13 got my first burner........a mag burner - snapped the back axle after about a week doing back hops :D

Always wanted a super tuff burner (the gold laquer frame with black skyways) but money was tight.

Got a aero pro burner in the end in team colours after saving from a couple of paper rounds and was well chuffed :)

If your into cars from the seventies a chopper is a must!

They hold a national day of choppers , bmx, grifters etc at Billing Aquadrome in Northampton every year really ace day out and also the American hotrods show is in the next field,there are always choppers for sale

Hope that helps
