I don’t look to impressed as the forks were oval and the pegs are for round forks
That was what I wanted so badly and I never got one!
When people ask me what kind of music I like, I show them this photo
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

Yeah. The “this is democracy manifest” bloke!
I had a Raleigh bomber. Used it for my paper round. Weighed a fucking ton. 3 speed sturmey archer . Promised way more than it delivered…
Although was fun going downhill
Budgie, Tomahawk, then Grifter, which I jumped so much I fucked my wrists up.
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.
……buzzing on lighter fuel and star bars.
If you were on Raleigh Bomber the taxi would’ve been a write off
Flying a kite. Lethal.
