1984 Mongoose "Blue Max" BMX

I cant remember mine. all our bikes came from a local cycle shop.

1980 Moto 1 BMX.

Followed rapidly by a Raleigh burner.

my first bike was a BMX style thing not unlike Bacon's mongoose, don't know who made it though. Then I had a Raleigh Extreme which I thought was amazing because it had plastic disc things covering the spokes in the wheels. In terms of my enjoyment of it, that was probably the best bike I've ever owned.

This one? I vaguely remember my mate having one as well.

Mine was a dinky little bike that had all of these funky bits of black plastic, and then a little fake computer display with a button on the handlebars that made noises of various weapons of mass destruction when pressed. Originally came with stabilisers that were then removed after I had learned to ride.

Edit : Before that I actually had a four wheeled kids pedal powered go-kart affair. I think it's still in the loft at my parents house actually.

My brother had that too.

I had this one, for 'older kids' it was the one up, the streetwolf

Anyone remember seeing this? I can't believe it had Nicole Kidman in it

Top stuff, that brought back some fantastic memories!

very similar but mine was purple, I think it was the previous years model or something, had a quick google this morning and couldn't find a picture of the exact one I had. The green ones seem to have been more common so I feel special lol

If we're going to get on to those, I had a yellow F1 car which I loved until I was demonstrably far too big for it. Fantastic machine.
