Title: Should everyone have a POS in there collection?
Post by: bodamus on March 21, 2014, 03:09 PM: After collecting buying and selling bikes since 2001 and owning some rare and expensive bikes and spending a small fortune on bikes like Nomuras, Trickstars, Slingshot, Kuwie Exhibitionists etc etc I have now bought a POS a Piranha with the heavy steel Banana Mags.

I have to say I am more excited and looking forward to restoring the Piranha than I have been about anything in years.

My question is should everyone own/have at least 1 POS in there collection????

Whats your thoughts.........

Not really a POS, love it, especially as it's still wearing it's Grimsby dealer sticker but by god it's heavy!!

up to you, its your collection.

not for me.

i had a tuff burner, and whilst it would be an alright idea to have one, i cant be arsed, as i fooking hated it first time round and couldnt wait to see the back of it and get something better.

i did love it, for about 20 mins till i arrived at our local 'track' and some kids has better bikes, and it was unloved from that moment onwards.

my shitter is my kuwie nova. I had one after the burner, i have one the same now, and its ace. got better bikes but thats my POS.

However they both hold more affection than any of the Mongoose, Skyway, Slingshots etc etc I have owned.

Post by: Gnarlyscoots on March 21, 2014, 05:33 PM: My first bmx was a mk1 super tuff. I loved it until I rode my mates Torker. Managed to pick up a Pro burner frame that felt a massive step up but, when getting my Torker, you knew instantly how sh!te the burners were.

I wouldn't waste my money on building a burner as I know it would be just that, a waste.

It's lovely to have & to build top end bikes, but honestly since i build this i've realised that this probably means more to me ( than anything else i either own or have owned) & its the only one i ride.
