Best bike ever!

[Guinessisgoodforyou]

My first e-bike!

Apparently I tried to ride it down some steep steps, unsuccessfully of course and guess I've carried on being a stupid idiot ever since!

John or Ponch?

It was always Ponch for me!

I was going to make a CHiPs Chopper tribute bike, but sadly my work got in the way. Have some sketches/plans squirrelled away somewhere. I had a Rickman screen for a C90 that I was going to use, along with some 80s speedos and indicators/lights I got from a Motorbike breakers. Think my dad chucked all those bits out many years ago sadly.

Apologies for the slightly off topic/on topic drift,, have you seen the 2017 movie remake?
Michael Pena was fantastic as Ponch and it even had a cameo from the great man Erik Estrada himself at the end.

I like the fact the lion gets a go. Preferable to being eaten

For the Chopper fans. Quiet at the back.

I had no idea you could get a chopper in 5-speed or blistering 10-speed. Pretty sure I never saw one or just didn't notice but quite sure I never had a go on one.

Colleague of mine had the 5speed version but not sure there was a 10speed version available

There was. We used to get one in for repair on a regular basis in the late 70s/early 80s, it was an early one too with the high sissy bar which somebody had managed to bend slightly to one side. The owner wasn't too bothered and was reluctant to pay the price we'd been quoted for a replacement as the bike had been passed down to him by an elder brother. I remember the kick stand bracket had been snapped off the BB at some point.
