Bog standard at the mo....But not for long....just have to save some more pennies tho for the bits and pieces required i.e. Suspension lift. Snorkel. Front Bumper. BIG tyres etc etc etc lol.

Hope to meet up with my old Crusier mates, and some new ones out on the trail soooooon.

Evening Keith. We had prior warning you might be along sometime...

Where's Coseley?

 

[Keith Shuttleworth]

Re: Hi from a new Cruiser owner.....AT LAST I HAVE ONE....Yi

Hello Gav. Hope what you heard was all good lol

Coseley my dear boy is in the wonderfull district of the Black Country....You do need a passport to get in....if you do visit the area and the residents see you have all your own teeth then they know your a stranger lol.

Nice Yam I have an R1

Looking good in the new boots

 

[Keith Shuttleworth]

Re: Hi from a new Cruiser owner.....AT LAST I HAVE ONE....Yi

Thanks Gav. The Yam is my baby.....just luuuuuuv her . Had the chance of R1, same color as my Thunder Ace, they were side by side in the showroom and I sat on both, just felt more comfortable on the Ace . She a big heavy bike but have lifted the rear and it's made her much more pointy and easier to tip into corners, had the heads skimmed and a stainless exh put on her without the exup..... . Can't wait to try my Cruiser in the dirt with the new boots

I really miss my bike. The wife might have had to carry the bump for 9 months and go through labour... but I had to sell my Superduke R to buy her a car. I reckon she owes me.

Re: Hi from a new Cruiser owner.....AT LAST I HAVE ONE....Yi

You should have kept the bike and got a small loan Ill never sell mine as alot of time and money has gone into it. PLus i probably wouldnt buy another
