Post by: mark 2 on December 25, 2009, 12:32 AM: I'm another one in the Night Burner club xmas '83 after getting refused a Tuff Burner my previous birthday.

Had it for 2 years but there was barely anything left of the original bike by the end and chucked a lilac GT Performer , Tuffs, Comp ST's and Hot Seat on it eventually.

The burner had
GT Performer bars
black z's
white GT tyres
white Kashi
red dc tech 3's
white sharp grips
MKS Grafight x
black mx 1000's
Tuf Neck chain ring and powerdisc
Tuf Neck stem

Mish mash burner, loved it, but the GT was something else. Happy days.
