Do it, T/A's are meant to be ridden. If you do not service it regularly, it will find somebody who will

oh, yes, yes, yes!!!!!!! do it! do it! i had same dilemma as you - recently acquired a few old schools and hadn't ridden a bmx for 20 odd years, and none of these had ever been ridden, but took the plunge and took my haro master out, best thing i've done for a long time. felt like a kid again. its was cool as f*@k. and the funny looks from people was well worth it. so get home and ride that pony!! do it NOW. you have been told............

MATEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!! What a fookin laugh that was!! The chain came off so i had to go back to work and adjust, everyone was pissing themselves at work.

I set off again and i realised as i approached the end of the road that cos i back to blacked the tyres at the weekend the pads werent stopping the bike. Nearly killed myself!

Then i got a funny noise coming from the back wheel and i thought the bearings were siezing up, but i rode through it and maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan the amount of stares i was getting. I felt like a bmx stud muffin! It was like having hair again!

Did the usual bunnies over curbs and wizzed in and out of cars but that was the best experience i have had for ages and believe me i do live it up!

Gotta a quater pipe up the road and it is gonna get smashed at the weekend. Just hope theres a hospital bed for me!!!!!!!!

Later Nick.
ps. Fish im so sorry.....................................

Its that double take !!!!!!

Good on ya!

That's what it is all about, just cruising onthe old schools. Pull a few wheelies, jump a few kerbs.

I ride all my OS bikes, they aint ornaments!

PMSL at the loose bits though. you can tell it was built to be shown.

Now youfinally got it home give it a proper service and tighten everything up. Ready for the next session!

Amost the same here! 5ft 9 and almost hairless and fat. Went out on it after work quickly tonight. Jesus my legs hurt and only went round the corner lol

Thanks lads. Its great. Get them show ponies out of stable! They are there to be CRUISED on, not THRASHED. I would never do that. She has had a good service tonight and im getting up at 6.30 and i cant wait. Nice fresh air, the sun just coming up, crusing on down to work with the paint glistening. Yeeeh.

My legs are Fooked though. Its not like those mountain bikes!!

ps. I might be bald but i aint fat!!!
