4 Calling birds
3 French hens
2 Turtle doves...........etc
I never show my bicycles, one day I'll be arsed...... :LolLolLolLol:
I know I want less that what's here, I love it still but all the unfinished builds and the obsession of finding bits is having a bit of a negative effect elsewhere in my life, all my priorities are fooked from it....Weak minded fool :LolLolLolLol:
-
blimey, maybeit's time for a bike re-count,
if harris and stuntmaster (I think it was 68 last count) get on this thread we'll be here all week ! LOL !!
-
dont even get me started ,all i done in 6 months is sold a california and gain a hl and floval and other bits and bobs and nothing has been touched for projects as busy with van so bmx on back burner so no show bike for this year
-
The only bike I have actually built is a Haro Gen 1
The Reflex was mostly built by DazBMX and I just changed a few bits.
However, i'm building an 84 Performer, Haro Master and a Streetbeat. I just need the two Skyway T/As, the Super Tuff Burner and the Aero Pro Burner and I will be happy.
Then I will have all the bikes I either had, or lusted after, as a kid.

HRD don't kid yourself that if you get the 2 T/a's, ST Burner etc that you'll be happy, before you get all of those I guarantee that something else will take your fancy and you'll get that as it will be "too good an opportunity to miss...." and that my friend is you going over the crest of the slippery slope to BMX kleptomania ;D
-
generallee, your right we do have too many bike's since remembering another i have (dyno detour flatland),
i can conclude that when you start forgetting bikes you own, you have too many :D
-
your right to many way to many :-[

*sob* you're right!
I've already looked at my previous post and said "oh yeah, I want a DP Firebird freestyler, Diamond Back and Mongoose too! Oh dear...
They will most definitely have to wait to the back of the queue though. The next bike i'm getting should be the 25th anniverxsary T/A f&f, then the 25th anniversary Team Aero...
Looks like i'll be living on soup for the next year then :LolLolLolLol:
