great interview Gary, top interview mate, really enjoyed reading it mate   

great stuff snow

Heart breaking about leaving the PH Talker on the bus, Gary.

But somewhere there's some guy, or girl, who remembers finding a VAM on the bus. Hopefully they gave it a good home and still have it.

Wonderful that you still have your adventurer.

Great to get to know you better mate!! What kind of vintage cycles you collect?

I'v just read your interview snow white and I liked reading it.

thanks all i collect the choppers and chopper types

Good getting to know you Gary. I had a Tomohawk as a kid always wanted the chopper but never quite made it ; (

Love your adventurer and that MAM figure is scary

Excellent read. Vintage cycles you say, have you many?

Another top 'AMMO' interview! Well done, snow white!  

And what a stunning collection of Chopper bikes!!!    I will never forget my first Chopper bike ride when they first came out here in the uk (68/69?) the Orange/red bike did a backflip wheelie on me and I ended up on the deck !   That Chopper had the rounded seat backrest and wide sloping back handlebars which tended to make the rider sit further back in the seat, this unbalance the bike. I remember seeing the first Choppers in a Freemans? catalogue in 68/69, There was orange/red, blue, and yellow  

Blooming heck those are fab and you have a tomahawk too. Great upload
