80's Bike with sound FX
rondon
Posts: 10
Does anyone remember that bike that all the kids had in the 80's, which had some rather fetching body kit and fancy sound FX, I've no idea what it's called now and searched google to no success. (It wasn't the raleigh, I came across that, it's nowhere near as cool).

Wolf something wasn't it?0

I know the one you mean....looked a little like StreetHawk..... :roll:0

I thought it was wolf something too, but still wasn't obvious in the google results. I'm not sure what a steethawak is, but it sounds bitching!0

Raleigh Street Wolf?

I'm sure my mate had one - I was always jealous as my mag burner didn't make any noises apart from me! Should that Street Wolf have a command centre on the handlebars somewhere?0

Perhaps it was a raleigh? There is no sound FX box on this pic though?0

I know you said it wasn't a Raleigh, but I still had to post this:

Now that is pimping, perhaps I'm getting confused. That's Buck Rogers bike isn't it?0 -

My mate used to have one - when we were small we took it to the BMX racetrack - I took it over a camel-hump and when I landed - well - you can guess the rest.
His 'mission control' smashed off and I still have scars on my left arm where I took ALL the skin off
Thanks for this thread - I had totally forgotten about James' Vektra (spl?)

My first BMX though was a Team Murray that weighed about 8 stone - full cromo but as it was yank it was hard to get parts to fit over here....
And how remembers the Raleigh bomber - sort of one of the first

The Raleigh Wildcat used to have a sound FX box on the handlebars.
Can't find any Google images but fairly sure about the name - first bike 8)
Sure it had a couple of other styling features and a huge padded seat!
This might be the one you were thinking of??Current steed is a '07 Carrera Banshee X

They were cool, but then I got my Turquoise Raleigh Montage with 15 sis gears and then I was the cool kid on the block... 15 gears and plastic brakes and I thought I was John Tomac!0

I was having retro thoughts on ebay looking for a Raleigh Ultra Burner, I used to love my bmx0

i had a boxer which i broke the front forks on going over the bars and smashing my gob up, moved onto a black chopper with kinda glittery effects on the chain guard. the chopper did some huge air and never broke, i also remember picking up a chopper and grifter in the mid 80's and remebering how they felt twice as heavy as my raleigh "super" burner at the time, ooo gotta go find a pic of my old burner now the gold one
you had the ultra? that's the one i wanted :P0 -
God i remember that street wolf bike . My mate had one and i was well jealous didn't the box on the front talk? i can't remember but it was cool as fook!! my first bike was a bmx cant remember which model but it had solid wheels . Never mind your stans no tubes get solid wheels, never suffer the drama of punctures again"If i was a slug i don't think i could handle it, i'd just throw myself in the salt pot" -Karl pilkington
