Nice new toy, (again ) beats a train set any day. Just for you to know what the kids of today will be collecting in 40 years time , saw this on holiday this year. Apparently they're called Bagger's they're a bit like a reverse chopper with a big 30" ! Wheel up front & a17" enclosed wheel at rear & are popular right now. Just got to wait for Raleigh to build a pedal version and a whole new collecting phase has begunandyd wrote:Hi Neil,

Exactly what I was thinking when I heard it coming, check out 'bagger motorcycle' on google, there's loads of them about. Not coming to a UK high street any time soonAndrew 2.8i wrote:

Hopefully not....
I have researched it a bit now. The way I understand it, it's just an extreme customisation of a touring motorbike.
I suppose they might look cool with a helmetless rider cruising down Sunset Boulevard. It wouldn't be quite as cool cruising around the centre of Newport in the rain.....

Re: My New Toy
Hi Andy,
The Chippy is in amazing condition for a kid's bike.
The trike looks a lttle neglected. Will you be keeping it original or will it be taken off the road for a full restoration?

This may have been mentioned Andy, I don't know, but there was a guy recently who I saw on the news, who did the Tour De France on a Chopper. Actually he used two. They were standard apart from the seat height and saddle. That's some distance!

Hi Andy,
Lucky you don't ride yours, you don't want to suffer some of those "serious chafing issues". Ouch!

Re: My New Toy
Hi Andy,
Very nice indeed, it's totally immaculate. Nice one.
You're a man who's full of surprises!
With a bit of luck I'll get to see it at the Nationals next year, perhaps?
All the best,
Andrew.
