er...'88 kawasaki ride...

well i stoled some cues from cafe racer and stoled some cues from kustom style and found loads of bits in my shed from bikes i'd worked on in the past and meshed it all together. All in its cost me just under £400 (including buying the bike)

I think i'd describe that as a muscle bike. Looks like a Staffy bull Terrier.

more pics!

lol....I have thought about flaking the bbq but have to give it back to the missus's folks at some point..if they buy a new one though....
I save the one piece leathers for the trackdays,mostly I strut in black on the streets. ya dig?
This is how i got it (the bent forks had been removed and the smashed fairing etc resides in a bin bag)



had to cut and widen the TZ125 seat



had mick frewer cover the seat to suit and sanded the tank back originally to spray it up silver flake



bit of a story behind the bike. My dad owned it from '91 if I remember rightly with 3k on the clock,after he died my mum looked after it and rode it a bit,then she sold it to a good friend last year with 10,4k on the clock; who had 2 incidents with it,figured it was unlucky for him so sold it to me with 12,6k on the clock. Its good to have back and has been nicknamed 'third time lucky'. Will prob get it lettered on the tank at some point when ade's mate is ready!

interesting 'third time lucky' background, I think its really interesting and a change is good with this concept, just go steady once it the roads are bad news at times.

close to pontypool...so about 30min-hour from pontypridd depending on time of day and traffic! granted it's no mona lisa,but then its gonna get used in all weathers just like the previous 10 or so bikes i've owned.
