Not a thumper and looking at the decals it`s actually a triple, but here`s my latest ride, due for delivery next week (hopefully it`ll turn up)  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

I sold my Mrs one a couple of years ago for £40, during one of my many clearouts. It was rough though, and needed a lot of TLC 😉

In the café at the bike shop I go to regularly they have a large collection of Chopper bikes, Tomahawks, Grifters etc and they generate a lot of interest. I lusted after a Chopper when they were first introduced but sadly they were beyond my means. Nice to see one in such good condition.

Aye Tim, I remember you telling me this when I was looking for one a while back. Just for your info, it was probably worth more than £100 needing a full resto, more in parts  :( :(

I think it's a twin rather than a triple - unless you have three legs to push the pedals!

Hi Manxie

I took some photos of the choppers at the bike shop yesterday. All I have to do now is figure out how to get them off my camera and onto here!

I`m not much help I`m afraid. Would it be easier for you to email them to me? I could PM you my email address?

Thanks for remembering  ;) ;)
