HI MARK, 

    DOES ANYONE REMEMBER THE VIDEO TO "ALRIGHT" BY  SUPERGRASS? IT WAS IN
1996 AND SHOWED THE GROUP ALL RIDING CHOPPERS. I SAW THIS AND DECIDED I HAD
TO HAVE ONE! TWO YEARS LATER PURCHASED LOCALLY A 1972, MK2 VGC IN RED, FOR 25
QUID! NOW I HAVE SIX,MK1s TO  PRISMATIC MK2.LAST WEEK I BOUGHT A WHIZZER AND
CHIPS ANNUAL DATED 1980,THIS FEATURED A STORY ENTITLED "WHIZZ WHEELS". A  BOY
CALLED TOMMY IS A LEADER OF A CHOPPER GANG AND THEY RIDE.......CHOPPERS! AND
THE ARTICLE IS ABOUT THEIR ADVENTURES WHILE CYCLING. I WONDER WETHER THIS WAS
A WEEKLY FEATURE IN THE COMIC AND KIDS EVERYWHERE WERE EMULATING TOMMY AND
HIS CHUMS? JUST A THOUGHT!
