two things that sprung to mind yesterday

<< < (5/5)

bmxgirl:
My first BMX was this California Star , which i still own  18 years later :shocked:

mr.magoo:
Same old story no money in house ... wanted a new bike in summer 1980, woolies were selling bmx's about £150, which i woudl have to wait for xmas for, or i could have a folding shopping bike with a coaster brake straight away (£50), wanted a bike desperately, so had the shopping bike, (Cringe).

Two years later got a paper-round got t boned out of a junction by a moped which totalled my bike. Used some saved money to get a tuff burner from Halfords, and had to pay mum back weekly for the rest of it.

Year later went racing and managed to do really well on it, (against Tim March's rants in another thread) but it was just too heavy, so got a Mongoose Cali, and a 2nd paper-round to pay for that!!!

Haven't stopped working my arss off since tha age of 11 1/2 tro pay for nice things in life, oh and 2 divorces !!!! :LolLolLolLol:

Rhys have you checked your birth certificate to see if it`s on there, or is it blank ?

My old man bought one for me and one for me bro for christmas.He hid them in his bedroom but me and me bro found them and every time my parents went out we used to sneak in there bedroom and get them out  ::) well just sit on them in the bedroom,i remember being in such a state coz i wanted christmas to arrive so i could ride it.....remember it well,i think i was about 38 years old  :coolsmiley: they looked like kuwahara's and had yellow acorn mags on em.

Anyone remember them  :daumenhoch:
