Raleigh Strika! I remember getting one of these for Crimbo '79 or '80 and going out in the snow on it (and falling off quite a bit). Ah memories...

looking at your pics you are either a big kid or had your Chopper for many a year? Just how high can u adjust a seat and handle bars???
All i can say with all honesty YOU LUCKY Sods!!!
My dear parents couldn't afford a new Chopper and how i missed out.
Thanks to all. That brought a tear to my eye, or was that the gear shifter??
Excellent pics Brilliant!!!!!

good luck to all that are trying
Regards Chris and Andrea

PS would still kill to be on the front of one and not be the backie!!!!!

OMG!!!! I've just found this thread and I'm so giddy I can hardly type!!

I had this toy pagey and I'd forgotten all abou tit till I saw this - its freaked me out.

Had an Orange chopper too that I bought of my cousin for a fiver, but the gear change was missing the knob off the top and I nearly cut mi bits off if I slid off the seat in 1st. Also had the rocket ship Evil Kinevil thing!

and...and....Ulujain - I that is a Mattell Intellivision, which cost £200 quid compared to £100 for an Atari. my dad got us one after a big win at cards and cos he was a big kid too. Couldn't get near it for him!!

Quality stuff.

Can you get a pic of a budgie - the smallest n the Chopper and Tomahawk range. I could wheelie forever on them bad boys.

Nah. Lolly sticks taped onto the forks, smacking of the spokes on my Strika. Best damn motorbike an 8-year old could ask for. Well, except for a real one anyway
