The first proper bike i remember having was a Red Raleigh Boxer which was the Grifter for younger kids




After that i had a Purple Budgie which was the chopper for younger kids but i never really liked it much


Next came a white BMX which was my Fave of all


and last but not least was my raleigh Bomber

Re: The Raleigh Budgie,who had one.......

Surely you mean The Boxer was a junior Grifter and The Budgie was a junior Chopper??
I always though the Tomahawk was the junior Chopper (hence the name)
