but did you have any o' these babies  ::)


Raliegh Boxer








Raliegh Tomahawk







Raliegh Chipper







Raliegh Budgie








I myself had a Mk1 Grifter    :smitten:  :smitten:  :smitten:









This isn't an excuse for everyone to start showing us yer Choppers  :D

oberonspacefruit:
i had all of them.

boxers were good for folding the front rubber mudguard flap, under itself so it rubbed on the tyre and made a motorbike noise.

i also had a tomohawk, that me dad bought me, my first bike, already unfashionable by the time i got one, but me mate had one and i thought it was cool as fook. my dad also fixed the centre console from a mark 3 cortina to the crossbar so i could get chips fromm the chippy on it.

i ran that set up for about a year...when i took it off, it was like pedalling on air.......you didnt realise how far you had to open your legs to get round a mk3 cortina console.

now thats a line i never thought id type.....

oberonspacefruit:
that tomahawk is a late one. the early ones had the high back seat.

i was gutted that mine had the low back

it meant it didnt have the white strap over it thyat said this bike is not designed for passengers, which was always handy for not givin backy's as it was "illegal"

hunterdubber:
The Mk3 console  :shocked:

COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

Did it have a Fag lighter an ashtray  ???

and did you have one o' them stick on ball type compass'

and a Feu Orange  :smitten:
