i would have haggled at a fiver for a burner!
I will take the stance for David Beard and defend the Burner, the employees down my local skip are all Albanian apart from one jonny foreigner from Wales, I give a flat rate of £20.00 if they phone me when a bike comes in and has 'Burner' written down the side of it

We're constantly guilted into recycling everthing to save the planet, so why when I visit the local tip to dump a load of household crap am I told that the guys aren't allowed to sell or give away any of the dozens of bikes piled up there? Surely this is the ultimate in recycling? It saddens me to think of the hundreds of potentially very valuable and rare bmx's taken away to be destroyed.A crime against God himself.....

I only split Burners on ebay to help the burner community with their builds as the guy's on here collect and build arguably 'better' bikes than the humble Burner I doubt if any one would be interested in having Mk1 Burner forks on say their PK Ripper or Skyway, although I could be wrong Personally I do not think I am doing anything wrong in saving Burners from the fate of the crusher ....but I do appreciate your concern
David.You don't moan like this when you buy items from me ....also, I need an Aero Pro decal set, do you still have a set for sale for £100.00?......you know, from the batch that you were given for nothing I may sell items, but at least I do some of the leg work and go to the effort to buy them in the first place I built a mini burner for my son for the record......which is what re kindled my passion for Burners, which despite the knock backs they get, are to my eye, a BMX of beauty
I do feel that you sometimes allow yourself to become obsessed by the brand itself to the point where you would like to control who is actually allowed to purchase a Burner
