Slap yourself, it's a tarted up whore from the 'other side' just trying to seduce & convert you!!! Thing like that would be a MAJOR commitment, you know.



She is pretty damn hot and OK I probably would enjoy spending a few long evenings with her as long as I could just leave when it suited me. Razz emoticon

Looking good! Is that a vinyl decal? I'd like to have one of those if it's removable.

Looking really nice rizzo... is your front rim on the right way around? just looks like your front tire is offset to the right (in the picture, left if you were on the bike) a bit? How does it track?

The front guard a bit off line with the bolt holes... small tech detail think I can live with it, it drives perfect just need to bed the brakes in bit more then readjust them.

Cheers guys
