Was back home over the weekend and digging through old photos - this was me and my Strika!

I had a Boxer which was pretty similar. I remember having a shot on a friends Strika and it was a bit heavier than the Boxer due to having some fancier accessories. His had a Speedo and I rode it straight into a parked car as I was watching my speed instead of my direction!
Bent the front mudguard so that the wheel wouldn't spin - was panicking that I had knackered his bike but my Dad soon bent it back into shape and all was well.

Great photo!
Is the stem meant to be like that, or had you put it on back to front?

Ah my cusin had a strika. I recall it having rear pedal brakes, great for skids. Mine was a tomahawk, a smaller version of the Chopper, only without gears. Oh how inferia I felt with no gears... great for wheelies though with that front wheel.
