My Skyway phase... couldn't afford one so I had to do my best with the Puch ;-)

Heres my final BITD ride... DP Firebird Freestyler GL Plus - the only photo I have. Sold it complete in '88 for Â£125 - brought it back 4 years later after it had been RAPED... did a little resto to take it to Cov. where it got nicked in a week :( >:( :knuppel2:

In the 90's I had a GT Performer for a while, then a gold Haro Shredder - which I sold to buy a pram :coolsmiley:
