  3. BSA Panther

This bike was similar to the Raleigh Chopper but the handle bars were more swept back like a Harley Davidson. The gear change lever had a round knob on it rather than the wider cylindrical one on the chopper and the seat swept up the backrest further than the chopper. A great ride and a great look. A shame they don't make them like this anymore!

    Rember this bike well I got one for Xmas one year. When ever I went out on it there was one kid on the estate who loved it and would always be wanting to swap bikes which I never minded as he had a go-cart with handbrake which I loved pulling big broadies leaving plastic skid marks on tarmac ha ha ha great times.... #takemeto1979

    Yeah my brother got one for Xmas in the 80s. It was a radical bike but does anyone remember the twist grip that made a motorcycle revving sound
