Re: Hi all
Welcome in buddy , lovely clean looking bike, the wheels aint too my personal taste though, if it were mine they'd be coming straight off and going white or blaCK!!!
Do not confuse my personality with my attitude. My personality is who I am. My attitude depends on who you are............
