That's the problem with your Chopper - they might have looked (and felt) massive in the late 70's, but when you sit on one these days they seem a tad on the small size..

I punctured my right thigh with the brake handle of my brothers chopper when i was about 14.
I'm not fond of them.
While we are talking bikes, if any one is looking for a funny read, try 'french revloutions' by Tim Moore, its his account of cycling the 2000 tour de France route.

Some people will tell you that slow is good - and it may be, on some days - but I am here to tell you that fast is better.

Nordic, I can fully believe you punctured your right thigh with your chopper. Dress to the left is my advice.
Bastard things. I once tried to wheely a friend's Chopper. But it went over too far backards and I smashed my head on the road. This could explain a lot I suppose.

What? Like the Raleigh Trouser Snake? Or Elswick Giant Pink Hairy Cobbler?
They never caught on with the kids and were a sales flop. Not really a big selling point with parents either I wouldn't think. No wonder the factory in Notts has now shut and they're all made in China; the seat now faces sideways.

Not if you're like the mate I went to antigua with. He recently got cracked in the nads by a high speed cricket ball when feilding at slip and apparently a surrounding membrane filled up with water and it will never go down. So his left one now has the dimensions of a medium sized easter egg, eg the Cadburys Buttons one, and it rather puts the right one in the shade. It was hilarious on the beach when he was wearing a pair of swimmers and it kept popping out to say hello to the girls. The police were going to baton charge it. |

Maybe the local authorities should treat it as a roundabout.

Great hairy bollocks!!
Ooo-err. Something very similar happened to a mate of mine just before we were due to go on a fortnights holiday in Falaraki. The left one swelled to the size of a grapefruit (the right one seemed to completely disappear, probably in fright). The doctors advised him not to fly and to stay in hospital for further tests, so he discharged himself and made his way to Gatwick.
The reduced pressure in the cabin didn't help and seemed to make it swell further. Despite a lot of gin and tonic he had to plead disabled to get a special seat. I have some great photos of it, I think we dressed it up as a Russian premier one night.
