100% right Sean, and yes Nick, we were discussing both. I had a Tomahawk, as my working class Glaswegian parents couldn't stretch to "proper" Chopper - still great fun and great memories. I recently tried to buy a lovely red Chopper from a vintage (clothes!) store in Glasgow, but they told me they wouldn't sell it...
