View Full Version : New Bike
Matt black and pretty cool but sadly not a GSX-R.
Still awsome though.
Been promising myself a new one for a few years now as my old Gary Fisher is getting on for 15 years old.
Been out for a quick 15 miles tonight and it rides so well.
Super light too (first aluminum bike).

Those knobblies are going to slow you down on the road, and that riding position is very un-aerodynamic!
You need some proctective clothing as well... ;)
pitty about the lack of horsepower, but eh, each to there own.

But do you use it for hopping on benches like most of the rich-kids do near where I live? :)

I have had my Orange P7 for about 11 years now. Totally abused, not very well looked after. :(
....Still rides superbly, and like new. :thumbsup:
I've had this about 12 months .... it is superb! Can say no more!

Ahhh , I remember many a croggy (pillion ride) on one of them. Has it got the classic "this seat is not made to carry passengers" on it ?
Isn't it funny how things change. I remember my dad saying that the bike was quality made as it weighed so much he struggled to pick it up!! "proper metal in that there bike lad"

You lot are strange. ;)
I quite agree!! :D
Ahhhh mint !
I used to have a Mk1 Chopper too.
We used to set up jumps and obstacles and play "Kick Start" on push bikes.
THe frame eventually snapped on my chopper probably as a result of this :D
Christ you lot are showing your age!
:D Dont have a photo as it was so long ago but i had a chopper younger brother the chippy it was a smaller version but just as good then i had the boxer, the striker and finally got my chopper but it was different than the pic below it had a carry rail behind the seat..:cool:

I had a Tomahawk before the Chopper. Was the Chippy / Chipper made by Raliegh or someone else ? :D
