My first love

[Pooch]

Been collecting the parts for some time now.. Haven't got all of it yet.
I'm building my old puch invader. Can believe how heavy it is.. Could smash through walls on the fooker. I had the chrome frame with blue parts. Not many pictures out there. 
Any radsters have one of these bitd? I got a kick in for mine and they left me with a mk1 burner. Thought it was a result at the time and then the police took that of me.. Ended up with fook all.
I'm gonna start putting it together this weekend. So who had one?

I didn't lover, but kids by me did.

I've just built my childhood bike, the feeling of nostalgia was amazing, brought so many good memories flooding back......

....like fingering a girl called Fiona while her folks were out, listening to Go West's first album, then riding the Piranha home, and being able to smell her fanny batter on my mushy grips next day.

Good times.

it doesn't get any better than that Dan!   

Sounds great John........looking forward to seeing come together, you can't beat a good POS!

It is always a great feeling building your childhood bike, you remember long hot summers and staying out all day, only coming in when it gets dark etc etc.


I didn't have a Puch but god I remember them as a friend of mine owned one.


Personally I have build my 1st two bikes, my very first bike was a Scorpion TX that my parents bought for me when we lived in the US in 1981, I have also built my first bike that was bought for me when we returned to the UK it is a Yamaha BYZ401.

Both bikes were cheap as that is all Mum and Dad could afford, but they are the best bikes I have ever owned.

As for the two I have built, they are the pride of my collection and the only bikes I would never part with.

I had a Puch Rapier for my 1st BMX, Chrome with blue.
Remember having a head on crash with another kid. Bent the forks to shit. Spun the bars round, Rode in to the wall several times to straighten them out.

im still looking for my first bmx,

i know they were a pos but i have been looking for a mudcruncher for years to no avail

[Gizmo]

Not had one , but my best mate did bitd think it was about 81 or 82 .
Can remember it now to this day . It  had & I say HAD  a purple frame & forks
Which we used to rib him about ( bar stewards we were lol ) so he striped it & we rattle caned it black  ..
To be honest lookin back now it looked nice with the purple f&f  & gold components on it

[Pooch]

I'll lay the parts out like a Hutch build in progress over the weekend

My first was a Puch
Fookin loved it (till it snapped!) red & chrome, put red alloy v-bars on it with galindo grips
This was on Christmas day, check the flair n slipper combo! That's how I rolled...Hell yeah

Seans' 2nd bike was my first ......... same as MX152 Motobecane, red white an blue, originally had red anno'ed rims that i traded for yellow sprayed white tuffs, .....cobra pads and silly stickers on the plate. Lucky to still have it

[Pooch]

Quality Mark!! Very True Matt.
Still can't believe how heavy just the f&f are! 
Think I'll hang out in the POS section at MK. Bet most of the real fun will happen there..
