Kuwahara with tuff II's ....wish I still had it....and the Kuwi.

Got knicked when I was about 11....bastards....I loved that bike.

Bought a flatlander about 3 years ago and found out I'm more destined for fatlanding, than flatlanding.

I have another mongoose grand prix frame and I am thinking about doing another build. Probably get this painted white and either black or blue wheels

Super Burner MK1. Best birthday present I ever had.

That Mongoose looks the nuts though, always wanted a Supergoose!

I had a gx2000 (i think) It was different to most of the others about because it's back brake was a drum brake (great at locking the back wheel) and it was a back peddle thing. I don't think they ever made or sold many because of this, but I loved it.

I'd have a bright red Chopper.

Anyone want to see a picture of my Chopper? It's looking rather sad these days, but does get out for a ride very occasionally now and then.

I have a mongoose californian, black tuffs, original padset.

Probably cost about 500+ to put together, looks a peach though.

Looks pretty similar to this one...
