What di u do with your bike bitd?

[Voodoocars]

As the question says really - what did you do with your bmx all those years ago? My last bike was a gen 1 haro freestyler with black tuffs and all the top gear.Worth a lot of money back then. I swopped it for a CB radio in 1984  What a sap.

[zed4130]

funny how many of our bikes were knicked, when i see kids now leaving ther bikes out side the newsagents i cringe   but then i suppose we was the same, since the 80's ive had 1 bike stolen, i generaly dont leave bikes anywere that i cant see them now ,  

[Swivel]

Haha... good thread.

Burner - once into cars, left it in my garage (no big deal)
Ammaco freestyler - snapped
Haro Master - mum sold it for pennies 
Various parts (nos wheels, tuf neck stems etc..) mum sold them also for pennies 

Such is life....

i had a MKI Burner GS from freemans catalogue........looking back it was pants with a capital P......but boy i loved that bike!!  it was the first ever new bike i'd had as having an older brother i always got his cast offs  

but the Burner was all i ever had.......it changed colour from silver (Ultra Burner) to dayglo green......i was the only person in our area to have Z rims!  and yes everyone wanted to copy the advert on them....meening lots of new spokes needed!     in the end i swapped em for a set of blue coaster tuffs  

It stayed in my dads garage for years till i gave it to one of my old girlfriends little brothers

[zed4130]
