Aaah brings memories back of my former youth. They are in remarkably good condition considering their age. Do you still ride them?

I'm not jealous!
I always wanted a Burner but never got one. I had some Gitaine thing which I snapped, no really the frame snapped in half! It did have Cdubs and Bear Traps though

WOW those bikes are in fantastic condition.
I would imagine they will be worth a lot of money one day.
I'm surprised the supertough burner has kept its gold mine fell off in about three weeks probably due to the acid rain in Slough.
What a fantastic collection well done

They look superb, I never had a BMX, though I liked them I couldnt cope with only one gear, too much of a speed merchant, still used to do the same jumps on a racer which is probably why it had extra bits welded in the rear stays where it kept cracking !
Anyone remember the Raleigh Bomber, sort of cruiser/proto mountain bike, weighed about a tonne and a half, my cousin had one, remember doing perfect donuts on a frozen pond on it cos the tyres were so baloon like.
I remember my mate Rob having a garage job BMX, i.e. cheap but he could really do some good stuff, used to get the BMX mag and was always on about Andy Ruffell and we used to lust over the expensive imported American Bike's like Mongoose's and Huffy's, then one day he appears at my back door on a brand new Diamond Back, the shock was like if J4cko's mate turneing up in a brand new F430, we had never even seen one and there it was, his gran had died and left him a few quid so he went and bought the Diamon Back.
Still have Diamond Back Mountain bike (Topanga), cicra 1990, cant bring myself to get rid, its mint.

I had a Burner. The protective pad on the frame makes me laugh now. That tiny bit of foam did nothing to preserve the crown jewels. The amount of times I fell foul on that thing still brings tears to my eyes

I remember one of the stupidest things we did as kids was lie down after a ramp and see how many of your mates you could jump over

i had a gold super burner, but always wanted the super tuff one with the mag wheels!
i also did a bit of racing in the late 80s and had a Torker (some kind of american race bike i think)

awesome !!!
Remember ,my first ever new bike being the Raleigh Ultra Burner .My mum let me ride it before Xmas day arrived I was that excited.
Popped a wheely and slipped off the pedal and it grinded down my shin .
Feckin murder but put a brave face on in case anyone was watching !!
Still have the marks on my shin now .
Oh Memories .
Used to bounce on the front wheel .56 times was my record I think .!!

Fantastic bikes mate - Cant believe the condition of them, awesome.
Got me thinking back to my old bike a Robinson Pro which cost a fortune back then - £400+ but loved it. Found a couple of pics on the net,,,brings a tear to my eye.
