Nice. But you can't getas much traction with just one wheel, so we're not interested. Two black tire marks going down looks way more impressive. And you can't beat the sound of a well tuned V8 on headers. Sorry.....

Yep! She hasn't been single long. I think she's enjoying being a free agent again.

hat layout gives you twice as much grip at the steering end which i think is a handy thing and as for traction on the back just but a fatter tyre on it

I don't care how fast that red thing goes. It just doesn't sound as good as a V8. End of.

Just go to the gym skid. She ran the last bf ragged. Don't worry about the plastic surgery tho m8. It's not what on the outside that matters, it's what's in the inside that counts. Well, that's what my partner ttells me. (thank god for that)

It's got a tow ball!!! Awesome - would love to see the looks at the boat ramp
Nice looking bike. Could be worth while for you sister to get a new set of handle bars bent up - bit longer and lower - which should make steering it easier. I'm sure the original design was not meant for someone of her stature
Looking forward to seeing it in action on your brothers burn out pad

I think you're right m8. But my sis ain't a girly girl. She doesn't mind a bit of hard work. She'll get used to it.
The shifter is the first thing we'll get fabed up. It's in a awkward position where it is. Sis has burnt her hand 3 or 4 times changing it. It's running a 2 stage powerglide up to a Ford rear end.
The tow ball is cool. She'll hook up a small 2 man sleeper on the back for her NZ trip this year.
