Where did your 80s BMX end up?

Sold it to a mate, aka, my mum sold it to his mum.

I had a BMX 20 (I believe it was called.) A pretty crap bike by any standard. I don't recall what happened to it.

Like every single bicycle and motorbike I've ever owned (6 in total)....stolen.

I had one for about 2 weeks. I saved for a year, got my parents permission to empty my Post Office account with my communion and confirmation money in it and paid a mates parents £45 for one. It was in top nick and had plenty of mods on it. His elder brother worked in the UK and used to get him bits and bobs so it was one of the better ones around.

Two weeks later it was stolen and (I found out a couple of years later) was sold for £20. I was 13, devastated and got an almighty bollicking off my parents which lasted most of the summer.

When I was 20 I was asked to play in an U-21 match as they needed the numbers to make up, was rare enough as I wasn't the best player. He, the thieving ****, was playing against me. Took him out of it totally in the first half, he lost 2 teeth and his nose was badly broken, I think a blood vessel ripped, either way he was in hospital for 2-3 days because it wouldnt stop bleeding.

Two years later I was home on holidays and shifted the love of his life, made sure everyone knew and it caused them to split up. I told him then that I knew it was him who stole the bike. Petty, but well worth it.

Still plotting some more revenge.
