Post by: Bfellows on November 10, 2013, 11:21 PM: I bought an Andy Ruffell Team Burner for £40 and sold it for £20....... But even better...... I swapped a pair of Gen 2 graphite tuffs for a pair of white aero zytecs......

Post by: GRAB ON KID on November 11, 2013, 02:01 AM: Not letting my so called trusted mate hold my Hutch Pro for me in the states to send over when i moved back to the UK in 85'.Fooker never replied to my letters or calls.Still confounds me now as he had no interest in BMX at all. :knuppel2:

Not selling my fully loaded TA for 85 quid to some poser back in the early 90's because i was skint. :uglystupid2:
Not selling my Haro Airmaster for £50 to some dodgy bike shop for the same reason. :crazy2:
Not selling my Webco ultimate back in the early 80's.
Not jumping my Torker EK 30 foot high off a rock quarry cliff into a lake & snapping it when it hit a crane digger under water! :'(

Rob a bank & clear out all the cool bike shops back in the 70's & 80's!
Steal a car & learned to drive it so i could've raced more from the age of 9 upwards.Oh & a couple of phone books as well to see over the steering wheel. :pilky:
