Raleigh Chopper
Remember those bad boy bikes of the 70's?

Well, I had one - big shiny red one - I loved it...up until I had a slight altercation involving a gravelly hill and gravity. Apparently I looked like I'd gone through a car windscreen.

I ended up in hospital (11 days too - must have been bad).

So there I am, being force-fed crappy hospital food (at the time I was a very picky eater - nowadays I even eat airline food).

Anyhoo, one night I was woken up by a concerned nurse: "Are you alright?" she asked.

"Um, yeah - I'm fine." I replied confused as to why she seemed so tall.

Turns out I'd fallen out of the bed (and these things were about 4' high, but carried on sleeping...

So there was I for the duration of my stay there with the safety guards up - the world's biggest baby cot.

Since then I've also fallen out of the top bunk and never woken up - deep sleeper me.

11 days for falling of a bike is too long...

choppers ftw!
I inherited my brother's chopper when he grew out of it. I was devastated when it got too small for me too. It was great. *sniffs*
