Choppers always looked to me like they should have radial*** engines, like HERE




*** this site calls them rotary engines, which are similar in appearance but work rather differently with the cylinders rotating around a stationary crank. They weren't used for long because of various undesirable attributes. The Nortons are Wankel engines which use an eccentrically rotating trilobular 'piston'

Diamond Back BMX - Can't remember the model
Raleigh Burner BMX - which later got rebuilt with lots of trick parts (and resprayed Massey Fergusson Red by a friend of Dad's )
Falcon racing bike - It was white 
Raleigh Grifter - Too bulky when riding it down the children's slide in the park and departing head first into the roundabout

Is four OK?  Oh wait, I never did those motorised bicycle machines on the basis that full throttle and corners wouldn't mix and full throttle (Max Power, Fast Car generation  ) was essential and corners were optional.

Bikes, I've had a few:


some brand of racing bike that Dad paid £5 for at an auction, which was less than the crested china he was there for. It was too big, but I was only 9.
replaced with a Raleigh Winner when that was stolen
Another insurance replacement Winner on which I did about 6000miles until my transport became a GP125 at 17
RD125LC which lasted about 6months at 18
some sort of secondhand mountain bike as a birthday present from my girlfriend. I gave it away several when we lost the lockup
Boardman Team hybrid which was stolen from my garden
Replaced with the next model up, that I still use.


I'm vert tempted by the E-bike conversion parts to fit to a cheap mountain bike as an experiment. It's very hilly around here....

Talking of bicycles. There is a Bianchi something or other which has been sat in my shed for the last 10 years, and it still has the labels & tags attached. Never so much as been sat on yet.
