Old skool on 2 wheels

Post by Jon »

Popped over to see my bro today and had a proper "blast from the past" moment...

Riding those bikes was just super awesome and had me giggling like a little kid. So much fun for so little money :sifone:

I'm about half way through restoring my Chopper and thanks to mikeb's very useful tip of using oxalic acid on the chrome, it's looking half decent...

That Burner is awesome :) With a set of white mags it would be my kind of perfection :hurray: You'll have to ask Mike B to get some up to date photos of his collection uploaded :thumbs:

:iagree: Yet more retro cool! Must be ridden whilst wearing either white or florescent socks though. :D

Where do you buy Oxalic acid? I could do with some of that

Wow, that's a great looking motorcycle -- is Spiderman still looking for it? Really, it's kickin'. Those little bicycles are cute too -- bring me back to the days of old (for me, getting older every day). Thanks for posting these -- cheers to you and your family!
I'm not sure if National Tyres give the best deals or not, but feel free to check them out and compare them to where you get yours.
