The “Emotional One”... NOW FINISHED (pic heavy)1983 Raleigh Burner GS (Phase 1)
pickle:
Awesome Ant, like yourself all I had BITD was my Burner GS.
My mum and dad (like many i guess) didn't have 2 pence between them so come Christmas 1982 all the presents had been dispatched:
Airfix spitfire
Football
Sweets
Annual of some sorts
but no Bike :-\ :'( I didn't show any disappointment as I knew they were skint as hell so enjoyed the Christmas morning with my brother and sister.
Come the prep for dinner my dad shouted from the kitchen "Rob, we're out of potatoes. go over the road to our neighbours and get some for me?"
Not keen on the idea I took ages to slide on my trainers and walk over the road........there in their garage was a gleeming Burner GS with a big Merry Christmas Rob!! banner on it.
I rode my bike all day until I was made to come in, loved that bike and like Ants it changed spec an awful lot.....ending up street beat green with blue Z's then blue Tuffs :daumenhoch:
Look forward to seeing it on Sunday Ant :daumenhoch:
