I don’t look to impressed as the forks were oval and the pegs are for round forks :sob:

That was what I wanted so badly and I never got one!

30 years ago a diner was hauled from a Chinese restaurant and
delivered a monologue so memorable it became a meme. Today that man
was finally able to finish his succulent meal alongside one of the
officers involved in his arrest

I was riding a chopper down a hill, it got speed wobbles and I ended up under a transit. Somehow I wasn’t hurt, apart from a fat lip. Not sure how I’m alive thinking back.

Yeah childhood hit different in the 70s/80s. A far more dangerous pursuit than nowadays.

Got hit by a taxi when I was on my BMX, completely my fault for being a 16yo old idiot.
Remember seeing the car coming towards me and the next thing I remember is being pulled off the rd by my mate and a passerby and panicking because I couldn’t walk properly.
Turns out the cab had flipped me up in the air and i’d come down and landed on the bonnet and windscreen.
Luckily only ended up with a few bruises and cuts on my back, the bmx, which was just some old street bike i’d swapped some draw for, was fine apart from twisted handlebars.

If it wasn’t bike accidents then it was being run over behind an ice cream van or floating out to sea on a lilo or worse still, being electrocuted climbing into a sub station.

Heady days.
