I wasn't allowed one because my mum thought they were "dangerous" Wish I'd seen the RoSPA endorsement.

I had a black MK2 with the metallic flames on the chain guard. Made it extra fast.

I was too old!
I believe the Chopper was launched in 1969 - The photo in my current avatar photo was taken in 1969.

I don't think the Chopper would have been ideal for the E8 25mile TT course.

I had a metallic blue one. My friend had a grifter and was very jealous.

I had a Grifter after the Chopper. A blue/grey one.

The Grifter was a more practical bike

 

[Dogtrousers]

I never had one and although I remember them being about I don't remember any of my friends having one either. There was a time, about '77-ish (?) when we all got into "racers" but I don't remember anyone having one of those.

Less fun though They were heavy as feck and had silly mudgaurds.

The Grifter was a more practical bike

I wasn’t difficult to be more practical than a chopper. But i agreed that it was very heavy.

[Jameshow]

I had a grifter for my sins...

To late for a chopper and too early for BMX.

No wonder in scared for life!!
