hey guys
I bought this bike around 2 years ago. i used it as a work commuter for around 6 months untill some one in a 4 wheel drive ran a give way sign putting me in hospital for a few months.. luckily the bike wasn't to badly damaged
It wasn't the most pretty thing when i first got it so it gave me an excuse to give it a full make over. the hardest part was fabricating the new seat and tail
