Born to be wild!

I think I'm just starting to have a mid-life crisis.

I've just gone & bought a Raleigh Chopper, off ebay.
It's an infra red Mk2 model... An icon of the 1970's.
It's in pretty good nick too.
I never actually owned one as a kid, I desperately wanted one, but never got one. I had a racing bike. Mates of mine, did have them so we used to swap, when we were out playing.

A friend of mine, just bought one a week before me, so we plan to go off & have adventures, with our choppers!

Lot's of 40/50 somethings? become quite wide eyed & enthusiastic, when you start talking about them, as my neighbour did this morning when I told him.

Anyone else have a Chopper, when they were younger?

P.S. I welcome & fully expect lewd jokes about mens appendages.
