If it's the same shape as a Performer then if it's a GT it's a Performer.
Pics would be smashing :daumenhoch:

don't bother with flowers ... just a nice restaurant and then coffee at your place.

keep the conversation flirty.

The mach 1 was an entry Level race bike. Its an after market decal set, you could buy them off the shelf back then for most models. I had speed series decals on my Fueler.

The original Mach One was exactly the same f&f as a Pro. Just the level of trim was different.

Not saying they werent good frames to ride but the Mach series were entry level race models. The pro series and the later Speed and power series were the top line racers.
