If you could have just 6 bikes in an old/mid collection, what would they be?

I'm thinking:

83 SE Quadangle (got)
82/3 SE PK Ripper
84/5 Hutch Trickstar
83 Skyway TA
84 GT Pro Performer (got, my original from BITD)
92 Hoffman Condor (got)

What think you?

Jazzchimp · « **Reply #1 on:** May 09, 2007, 06:30 PM »

I think

83 DB Silver Streak (got)
84 DB HL Turbo (got)
81 PK Ripper (got)
85 Skyway TA (got)
84 GT Pro Performer (got my original one from BITD)
Haro Gen 1 (got)

Sh!t forgot about HL DB Turbo

Arhh there's too many

Jazzchimp · « **Reply #4 on:** May 09, 2007, 06:34 PM »

you can straight away see why rippers fetch the big money

macmark · « **Reply #5 on:** May 09, 2007, 06:36 PM »

For me it would be:

Mongoose Motomag, like my first bike bitd.
Kuwahara KZ1, with graphite Z rims like my 2nd Bike
Early Looptail P.K. Ripper. Always wanted one bitd.
Skyway TA. Same as above.
Candy Apple Red Trickstar. Almost got one in white bitd but some donut in Superbike dropped it and scratched it so I didn't buy it.
Green Skyway Streetbeat. Last BMX I ever owned and probably the nicest bike I ever rode.

Tuff question!

In no particular order but here goes.....

82/83 PK Ripper - probably my all time favourite.
MKI Haro Freestyler in chrome
MKI Haro Freestyler Sport in white
82/83 SE Quadangle in Powder Blue
GT Pro Performer in Yellow (Fiola style)
Craig Campbell Prolite in chrome (probably one of the best handeling bikes I've ever rode - very underated at the time

It actually took me longer than I thought it would if I'm honest, I paused several times over my choices and made some hard decisions - good post fella!
