Title: Super goose or mongoose?
Post by: lukethespookcoop on July 19, 2012, 12:56 PM

My ammaco mongoose appears to have super goose decals on the forks!, did they do a super goose?, or should I just get 83 mongoose decals!?. I wanna make the right choice.(http://i1160.photobucket.com/albums/q481/lukethespookcoop/87ecdc74.jpg)(http://i1160.photobucket.com/albums/q481/lukethespookcoop/4021e719.jpg)(http://i1160.photobucket.com/albums/q481/lukethespookcoop/bike/8841373a.jpg)

ammaco didnt do a super,i think they just did a whire wheel which was the gusseted goose like yours and the grand prix  which was the next generation circa 84 without the gusset :daumenhoch:

you must remember mongoose motomags and supergoose were expensive ..........heros rode them ........so every kids had a mongoose decal as everybody wanted to be that hero...

so if they are genuine ............the fork steer tube will be marked as follows ....ie ....TANGE FI.......TANGE G2......ETCETC....

AS FOR other makers using decals or names close to mongoose ...then they would incur a infringment on copy rights and be dealt with ........ :)
