Well after selling my old street beat last year and riding a NS bike whenever i went out, i thought i'd lost the OS bug.....that was until two things happened.

1. seeing the Haro demo at the worlds.....i don't think one person could watch that and not be inspired
2. MK09! and seeing the gorgeous bits that Jai got out of his van

after watching the Haro demo i just had to have a Haro!! (probably not the only person who thought that??) but i wanted it to be a proper rider so i was after one with lugs on........well after a conversation with the ultra cool dude who was with Jai at the weekend, out popped my next project.....to say i'm excited is a massive understatment

a few piccies after a quick wipe down

she's so NOS it's a crime! and i've even managed to source some proper 91 NOS Haro forks for her as well (huge thanks to Greg Motomag II for that)

i've got some luurrrvley Haro bits winging there way to me from Gashead (cheers fella) so i'm so stocked at owning my first and absalutely gorgeous Haro (i'm even loving the gay 90's decals)
