Dave – The coolest bikes ever invented, i used to have a blue one with a big number 1 on the front
Rennie – you were lucky mate, never had one Mumgee….WHERE’S ME BLEEDIN’ CHOPPER!!!!!!!!!! ”
Brains – Just seen a chopper for sale at £950
Rennie – Oh my God, can’t afford that
I know that Mumgee has one is perfect nick and if she see that post I’ll never get it!!!
Nix – Yesterday I was out walking with my son and saw a little girl we know sitting on what looked a heck of a lot like a chopper. She must have saw my curious look, misread it, and said defensively, It’s not mine–it’s my brother’s. I suppose she thought I was wondering what she was doing on a boys bike.
It was silver, with the requisite black banana seat. I thought, That thing cannot be new. So I asked the kid and she said it was, still wearing that why do I gotta ride a cow when all the other girls get to ride ponies look on her face.
So, maybe?
Hattie – I never was allowed a bike never mind a chopper ……. she should count her blessings me thinks !! I always used to borrow friends bikes …. so can ride one ….just never owned one either ……..only the stupid three wheeler i mentioned early on
Awombleforever – I went to a party in the early 70s, had my first proper snog to I love you love ,got a bit tiddly on cider and the boy walked me part way home straddling his chopper What a memory.
Rennie – Ahhh that is soooo sweet. What a lovely memory. Trying to remember my first proper snog.
Ahh I was going on a double date but my mate never showed up so I ended up going out with both girls. We went roller skating which was a fun thing to do especially when I kept falling over. Got a bit awkward when it came to saying goodnight as the other girl was still there saying how nice the weather was for the time of year!!
Hattie – Mine was at a school disco, sad still remember the date too, 24th October, cant remember the year though… used to have school discos once a term back then, they were the highlight of the school term…….we all used to get dressed up,have a good three step dance and then when the slow dance came on the floor would clear……
Karen – Hiya Hattie – just before Christmas our gym class turned into a dance class – oh the horror – girls AND boys together in the gym!!!!! With sweaty palms and red faces we’d all ‘practice’ the teddy bears waltz, and other crazy dances…….
Glittergal – Always wanted one, never had one!
Soulsister – I had to laugh Hattie-cos i was the owner of a three wheeler[Tricycle], with a big tin carrier on the back!!! My mum was too scared for me to have a bike! And any boys who later on had Choppers ……well..ultracool dudes!!! Some of our male mates had big bikes with high butterfly bars-can anyone remember them??
