Having last ridden a BMX in approx 1987 aged 14 which was a RALEIGH SUPER TUFF BURNER bought for £8 from my mate Martin , oh if only i knew then what i know now
i would be a wealthy man and certainly wouldnt of turned down Carl Garners immaculate TEAM AERO PRO , because £20 was quite simply excessive for a bmx in 1987 very near 3 weeks paper round wages !!!
i stumbled across an old beaten up BMX and that was all it took ......... i was once again hooked altho older but not really that much wiser !! that was approx 4 months ago since then my wife is a bmx widow and i am having to leave my car outside because the garage is getting full
so here is my bikes owned over the last 4 maybe 5 months at various stages of being built / stripped or finished , some i have sold on others ive still got and i have 2 more in the post !!
anyway they aint show winners but like the title says i loved them all

MY VERY FIRST PROJECT AFTER A 21 YR BMX GAP
NOT REALLY SURE WHY BUT THIS 1 HAS BEEN MY FAVOURITE TO DATE
, NOT REALLY THE BEST OR THE MOST EXPENSIVE OR RAREST BUT SOMETHING ABOUT IT
IF ANYONE IS WONDERING ABOUT MY GARAGE DOOR
MY SON WAS ON ABOUT STREET ARTIST "BANKSY" I STATED THAT YES HE WAS VERY GOOD BUT I COULD DO A SIMILAR THING ON MY GARAGE DOOR !!! THE GAUNTLET WAS LAID DOWN BY MY SON AND A £5 WAGER WAS PLACED !!! I THINK I BOUGHT AN INNER TUBE WITH MY WINNINGS
THE DEDICATION ON THE DOOR IS TO MY COUSIN THAT SADLY PASSED AWAY ON THE DAY I WAS SPRAYING THIS ON MY GARAGE FROM A BRAIN TUMOUR AGED 32
STILL ON A POSITIVE NOTE I WON MONEY FROM MY SON AND MY BIKES LOOK GOOD WITH IT AS A BACKDROP
