divster Posted May 20, 2012 Author Share Posted May 20, 2012 totally understandable no theyre not to everyones liking like i say,but the thing is with the divvy that it wasnt in the best of nick bodywise when i got it , and getting a new bike was out of the question ,so out came the matt black , its on the road all year round (yup even snow) as cheap as i can possibly get ebay get some use ..i do all the work myself i like to tinker and botch stuff .sitting with a beer or 3 thinkin will it /could it work like the front muddy the original i snapped to bolts in it,so that got chucked in the shed ,and came the one thats on that was made from an old mx tyre and some scraps of aluminium that i found at work (im a binman so always skipratting ) oh blackhat , if it was you lot up in the bottom corner it was me and a red tl thou foggin up the place !the aftermath take 2 i didnt have much tread left the other one trashed his rear to the canvas lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grouch Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 I do think its cool and understand the appeal. I think it's a biker's bike (if that makes sense)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
