Found my original reciepts for my first BMX's... real history here!!

The 2 finest days of my life...

5th September 1981, bought my Puch Murray 342 for £95 quid. The Genisis of BMXing started here.




Then 23rd April 1983 I got all serious with a DB Silver Streak. Funny, but £200 quid was a lot in those days, I mean DB's aren't much dearer than that in Halfords nowadays.



Who said it doesn't pay to keep all your receipts??

so a puch murray lasted u like 2 years ?? Wow!! cant belive that ,,,, but the silverstreaks were the most desired bikes round my way bitd  ...

[Jazzchimp]

I know and I rode the thing 24/7 - That's what happens when you build a bike out of concrete.

and no sniffing, mud crunching wombles here mate
