I had a Budgie, then a Striker. My brother had a Grifter - it weighed as much as a small moon. 

There was also the Chipper as I recall - a mini-Chopper for the younger wannabe Chopper owner.

My first bike was a second hand Chipper.

The Johnny Seven OMA (one man army).

Biggest and baddest fuck-off toy gun there was, grenades launcher, bullets, rocket launcher, the whole 9 yards, but the old woman would never buy me one because at £4, 19 shillings, and eleven pence, it was “Five pounds, all bar a penny”.

I remain mentally scarred by the lack of a Johnny Seven, a burden I’ve had to carry since childhood, having had to fight battles without one.

A kid at school had one of those. In fact he had loads of cool toys, the spoilt little bastard. I remember going to his house once and he had everything I’d ever dreamed of owning…a massive train set, a huge Scalextric set up with loads of cool cars and all the fancy add ons like the Firestone bridge, the pits with lap counters, the crossover tracks. Plus he had the Johnny 7, a remote control Tiger Joe tank, every Action Man thing imaginable, the list just went on and on.

He later had a Suzuki Super Six as his first bike….black and chrome, really lovely looking thing, especially compared to my BSA Bantam which looked like it’d dropped straight out of the 1940s.

In my primary school days, I had a friend whose parents owned the local toy shop, and he had all that stuff. I was insanely jealous, the Scalextric track he had was massive, with all the trackside bits.

Bastard.
