blackhat250 Posted May 13, 2012 Posted May 13, 2012 Mwan machine diviste" you nusta been at squires that day we were there,,, ,, shudda come over and said Hello,
Grouch Posted May 20, 2012 Posted May 20, 2012 I could never do that to my bike. My aim is to get it in showroom condition, like it's brand new.
divster Posted May 20, 2012 Author 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
Moderator Airhead Posted May 20, 2012 Moderator Posted May 20, 2012 Aye that was us mate, would recognise your bike anywhere with that front muddie
divster Posted May 20, 2012 Author Posted May 20, 2012 Aye that was us mate, would recognise your bike anywhere with that front muddie ahh cool , yeah she gets recognized a fair bit with that muddy and the radioactive sign on the tank
Grouch Posted May 20, 2012 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)?
blackhat250 Posted May 20, 2012 Posted May 20, 2012 Yeh diverster" i remember you lot now,,, parked on the concrete, you can just see our tents thru fog,,, some of your lot slept in a van, or car i think,,
