That purple Budgie, Ooof, right in the feels

I've got an old picture of me on a BMX (which I might post one day if ever drunk enough) I have no idea what it is (just like my road bikes then ) but that and the Budgie are the bikes which meant the most. Showing that it isn't always the best bikes but the best times that can make the best rides, I later had a Diamondback and a Mongoose but they didn't mean as much even though they cost quite a bit. Same with my motorcycles, the Yamaha R6 is probably my best bike on paper but the Honda MBX 80 or Cagiva Mito were the best times for me, 17 and what a summer .

The Commando meant a lot to me as I was riding something that some of the bigger older kids were riding, in my head it looks amazing... Looking it up in later life, not so much. In my head it looks nothing like this at all our kid changed the seat on his to the same one on a Grfiter.
