---------------------------------------------------------

My first bike, a Puch Invader... loved it.

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

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

Got back into the game August 09... riding more now than I have for 25 years

Loving the regular private sessions with the 'Usual Suspects' off of RADBMX @ The Boardroom Skatepark in Leicester

---------------------------------------------------

Got back into BMX with a restoration job on this DP Firebird Freestyler Ltd Ed GL Plus - number 171, recovered from my brother-in-laws cellar looking like this...

looked like this for a while ... with Star Wars AT-AT Driver colourway ;-)
