Hi everyone I'm Morgster - new to the forum and I'm already hooked and awaiting delivery of my newly aquired PK Ripper. I only joined the forum at the weekend and I got so hooked I bought the bike last night!

I live in the UK and just turned 35 so I'm old school all the way. Back in the day I had a few BMX's, my first ride was an Ammaco, followed by a Firebird Freestyler, GT Mach one and GT Pro. Unfortunately I sold or swapped them years ago and miss those bikes big time.

I also ride MTB's and probably guess a few of you guys do too but there's just something really special about BMX that has never died in my heart.

So anyways - enough of the tear jerking **** - Hi everyone, I'll be asking for some guidence on bits and bobs for the ripper for sure and I'll post some picks when I get it. I'm also going down to search my parents loft to see if there's any old BMX mags (or parts) lying around.

Here's a couple of oldies that i scanned a while back -

Cool, I get to be the first one to post this!!!

Welcome to the site.

I take my coffee with sweetner and some non-dairy creamer, please!!

I, myself, got hooked in August of last year and now own 6 bikes/frames.....

Hold on to your wallet, the fun's about to start.

I couldn't have said it better Mr. Lewis, Here Here.

Hi guys

Somehow I had that feeling that this is gonna cost me some serious money and time.

YUP! Now hand over your wallet cuz we all need the money!!!

It's a worldwide disease for sure. It's very addictive isn't it. I got on the net looking for a chainwheel for my flights. 1 year later I have a pile of stuff and half a dozen rebuilds.
Welcome and good luck!

Extremely addictive!

I got on the net just to find a decent "fun" bmx bike. I got an '05 PK and now I'm officially hooked. Now I find myself trying to figure out what old/mid school ride I'm going to pick up. My wife thinks I've gone crazy. She had now idea I could figure out a new way to spend money..ha ha.

anybody know where I could get started on getting a 86-88 haro master going

Nice pics Morgster!

What's in YOUR wallet!?

2 days, and an OS PK already? Not bad! Not bad at all! Game on!....

....welcome to the site my new friend across the pond....rock on
....oh ya, forgot to mention one of the most important things, RAD PICS!....

Welcome and glad your hooked

Cheers everyone! Glad to be here - evn though my bank balance (well overdraft) is gonna take a bit of a hit!

Let the good times roll...

Welcome, I am sure one BMX will not be enough for you. Next you will probably want those old bikes you hade years ago like the rest of us. I thought, OK I am just going to do my one Kuwahara LaserLite and that was it, a few years later and now I have 5 Kuwahara's, two more project bikes, boxes of parts and no end in sight...I need help. You too will probably need help as well. Welcome!!

Muahahahah, Muahahaha. Another victim!!!

Welcome to the site, I don't drink coffee, but I'll take a Coke.

Cheers,
Brian
