The best bike to challenge for a bunny hop competition - you could barely get them up the curb

They be worth more if you weighed them in?

HARORIDER · « **Reply #5 on:** September 17, 2012, 04:01 PM »

if you was shipping them from the states they would weigh more than a complete bike-extremely heavy

My mate tried pulling a wheelie - I think the wheel stayed put and the stem came out of the forks!

Hey bud, the comments are more jokes remembering the past with a pinch of salt.

Thats whats its all about in the end, enjoying the hobby now and back then.

But you have to agree - what was the design engineer thinking when he came up with them?

Yeah take it all with a pinch of salt. These were not highly regarded BITD, but seem to be coming more popular due to sentimental reasons.

I get it lads and i only paid £20 so its all good.

You don't see many that complete. I'm not convinced the banana wheels are harder to find than the earlier 5 spokes though.

My mate had one BITD....

He thought it was because someone found out how upset he was.......

We all knew that it was returned because it was a shit bike.........

i wouldnt mind getting one of these for sentimental reasons . but they kinda make me sad when i see them . a mate Robert had a black and yellow one bitd.
he was a few years younger than me and was one of those young lads that would always tag along behind you even if you didnt want him around followed us every where .
but one day he was out on his own and went flying down the road straight out in front of a transit van unfortunatly he didnt survive

. he was only 12 .the first person i knew who had died. his favorite song at the time was paul hardcastles 19 . every time i hear it i think of him and how he never got to be 19 .
its funny how something like a bike or a song can take you straight back to those days when you were a kid .
thanks for posting that link
even if the memories are not the best its still good to remember old friends .

yeah jim it was a sad day alright .

the little lad didnt have much luck with the pirrana . the bike got run over in the car park down the wreck months before the accident we all laughed because even though a car had driven over it nothing got damaged

then it got stolen from him by a lad off the courts something gibson i think . we found it on the roof of one of the garages and gave it back to him
maybe it would have been better if we had never found it

. as i said these bikes bring back alot of memories for me .
