Title: Whats the nicest bike you've ever rode?
Post by: magna13 on October 10, 2008, 04:59 PM
I got loads but one of the nicest bike i have ever rode was Gaz's (poolysheriff) Robinson. very smooth! very quick, felt like it good compete with current bikes and riders, i done a whole mornings practise on it and wish it was mine as i got straight off it.

what about you?

Best feeling is split for me between Haro FST and GT Pro Performer, both felt solid and fluid to ride and do tricks on too  :daumenhoch:

With out a doubt, my TA in 86, although my Hyper is nice and smooth, but the memory of my TA, nothing will surpass that, anything was possible, or was that my age back then?

Exactly the same as me. :shocked:

The FST got the edge though, although i love a performer as they are perfect for tall riders.

I rode a TA about a year ago and i couldnt get on with it and TA's are my favorite bike. :'(

There were a kid at school in Sheffield, BITD, year above us, who's dad owned a motorbike shop, & he always had top bikes.

Had a blast on his Ripper once , compared to my Piranha it were a different class, but I could do endo's & he couldn't.

god bless the spoilt cnut, but that were the best bike I ever rode, & it was a different class.

Are we only talking 20"? Because the best bike I've ever ridden (and still do) is my Mongoose Kos Kruiser. Nothing like cruising around on the old girl - awesome ride.
