    Nothing wrong with that at all mate, I like the finish on these raw inbreds, nearly bought one myself.

    Looks like a bike that gets well ridden, like it should....

    And anyway...bling doesn't look so good when its caked in shite :lol:

    True - I like my bikes rough and ready - that's why I rarely clean them :D

    I haven't seen this one in the flesh yet! Will have to meet up soon and see it. It looks great! And yes, the mud shows us what it's really like ;)
    It takes as much courage to have tried and failed as it does to have tried and succeeded.
