I think Christmas '83 I got my first BMX, a Falcon Pro Sigma with them double-spoke mags. F & F was decent and I later raced it for a year or 2 with better bits on it.
(before that I had a G*****r)

I'm another one in the Night Burner club xmas '83 after getting refused a Tuff Burner my previous birthday.

Had it for 2 years but there was barely anything left of the original bike by the end and chucked a lilac GT Performer , Tuffs, Comp ST's and Hot Seat on it eventually.

The burner had
GT Performer bars
black z's
white GT tyres
white Kashi
red dc tech 3's
white sharp grips
MKS Grafight x
black mx 1000's
Tuf Neck chain ring and powerdisc
Tuf Neck stem

Mish mash burner, loved it, but the GT was something else. Happy days.

1982 - Race Inc RA7 (full 2nd hand set up with Z-rims and 1PC). My 2nd BMX after getting an Ultra Burner earlier in the year. The Race Inc is now owned by PK GARY on here.

1984 - Hutch Mag Ti hubs laced to chrome 7X(N) rims (still got the hubs).
