Epic Taster - Bike Poll - Loads of Pics

[greentoad]

Hi all

I was hoping to be able to attend, but as it's Mothers day (and my birthday) I have been ordered that the weekend has been planned (as a surprise) and that I can not go. 

I really wanted to see you all and the bikes, but it seems that this time it can not be.

However, I have asked a kind Rad member if he has some spare room to take a bike, and he hopes so. 

So, hopefully you will all be able to see my new ride - no new or donor parts, paint or chrome at all and the total cost £0.00













Thanks for looking.

For me it's about the bike, the money and make is irrelevant.
