Was this anyone else's bicycle fantasy when they were little?

[Twilkes]

Never even set eyes upon one, let alone got one on my bike.

Looking back I didn't know how lucky I was having pedal-back brakes, effortless skidding from the age of 5, much to the annoyance of my older brother.

I had one of them
Remember my Dad having to make a new bracket for it.

If we wanted to make a noise we had to make do with lollie sticks.

Old fag packets was ore noise maker

I bought one at a jumble sale unfortunately it had no bike bracket. I similarly bought one of those massive D cell Eveready lights

 

[smokeysmoo]

I wanted to be able to do a wheelie. On a chopper that I didn't have. A boy a few doors down was 12.. I was 9.. He said he had done 50mph on the flat on his Chopper. I believed him

My fantasy was a yellow racing bike with tight geometry and chrome forks.

I used to have one, it was a hand me down from my brother when he outgrew it. I coveted it for a few years, but like meeting your heroes reality was a different matter.

I made the mistake of supporting that Kickstarter project, and when I finally got the horn after many years, I found it had some major drawbacks: (a) very heavy (about 800g) and (b) the horn's casing rattled a lot and I couldn't find a way to stop it. However, it was definitely as loud as a car horn.
