Had both including the Chopper with 'racing bike' forks and a Grifter seat ... 
Cruel I know, but when BMX's came out we used to sing this song to my mate who couldn't afford one.
BMX boys have a lot of fun, Nicky's got a Grifter and it weighs a ton!

Re: Grifter or Chopper
I had one of those too. I think it was the first brand new bike I'd ever had and it was a beaut! I remember getting it for Christmas and just spending all day sliding around in the snow on it. Happy days!

Re: Grifter or Chopper
I had a chopper, brothers had a BMX and Racer - all second hand mind!
Me and my friend used to ride around on the chopper - she'd sit on the back and pedal - i'd sit on the front with legs up and steer - oh happy days, well that was until we got stopped by the police and told to stop
