1982 TORKER 24" CRUISER

[Rat Rod]

Picked up this July 1982 Torker 24" Cruiser today...number 093. It was owned by a lady in a little small town way out in East Texas. She said she bought it used back in the early 90's and raced it at the local track for about 6 years. I guess her son raced too so they did it as a family activity. Whoever she got it from had built it up from 90's parts and that's how she raced it. She said that at one point when they traveled out of state to race, a rep from Torker tried to buy it from her. It's in really nice shape without any damage whatsoever...should clean up nice!

She said that none of the girls wanted to race her so she's have to race against the men. The guys didn't like that and they harassed the whole time. She seemed like a pretty tough cookie.

Hey, a couple of 2" tires and fresh grease and you'll have a bmx that actually fits.

Great story. Do you have plans to remove those brakes (mounts too)?

Done!

Removed the two hose clamps and the whole thing came right off.

Just skinny 24" wheels & tires....Torker didn't make a Jr.
