pro burner

hi everybody im going to tell you the story of my bike  :wink:
it all started when rob brought the bike on ebay in 2008 .
he took the bike to his work place where he stripped the bike down to its frame and cleaned it up the best he could  :roll: anyway he sent it of to fhm who was going to powder coat it for him  :lol:  well all was not good as they found 2 or 3 holes in the frame which were not good and the metal was very fin  :cry:  rob was gutted but fhm told rob that it could be fixed and rob was happy again when he got the frame sent back to him looking new and white  :cool: 
rob never got round to building the bike up and it was first seen at the burner bash 08 and that was the last anyone saw of the frame until the next burner bash where i was lucky to buy the frame and forks of him  :wink:
i took the frame home and it sat there for a while whilst i found the part to put on the frame  :wink:
the bike is all together now and it will be my last proper burner build as i have all i need in my collection.
as most of you know i ride all my bikes and really enjoy ridding them along my three mile long beach  :lol:  but i think i have just found my self my first carpet queen and will not be riding this one  :wink:
