As I'm new around here, I thought I would come and say hi

I have a small collection of bikes I have built up over the last year or two. Not sure how many more I will do, but here is my current list

1981 Redline MXII
1983 Torker 280x (only just bought this it has been delivered to my parents)
1984 Redline 500a (my other halfs bike)
1985 GT Pro performer
1986 PK Ripper
1987 Haro Sport (shared with my little sister)
1988 Haro FST (nearly finished for my sons 13th birthday)
1989 Quadangle

As you can see I clearly live in the 80s

None of the bikes are show pieces as I ride them all and loan them to friends, most of them the purists will hate as the bits aren't date correct, but when you are on a budget.....
Where is it best to post some pictures? I seem to own both race and freestyle bikes and I think I never used them for the right job BITD

to Rad buddy.

Firstly, you could just post them in here for all to see in one thread or create a thread in the Chat section showing all your bikes.

Secondly, post them all individually in the Race and Freestyle section or start a thread in Me and my Bikes with a little detail about yourself and pictures of your scoots.

Looking forward to seeing them all,

Cheers,

Terry

WOW! What a collection of bikes (regardless of condition) for a new

member. A big welcome to the forum, and it would be great to see some photos. It just shows you how many collectors there are out there that aren't on any forums

Welcome, plenty of us here that think bikes are for riding and not just ornaments.
And use your bikes how you like, I sometimes race my Supercross dirt jump 20", and take my race cruisers to the skatepark.

Hello Ade...

Wish i had that collection...
