Hello all, newbie here saying hello. (with pics)

Ay up,

I'm Steve from England and thought I should say hello before I do anything else.

Been into motorcycles for years but never owned one, until about 3 years ago. I brought myself a 1984 Suzuki TS 125 X as a none runner. The previous owner/s had been using it as a field bike so it was in a pretty bad way. Engine shot, no compression, stripped wiring etc etc. So spent some time rebuilding it and getting it backup and running.

Since then I have really faced doing something a little different with it, so have turned it into a hardtail chopper. (some might cringe at this thought but I like it) As you will see in the before and after photos it looks a little different. I've fully rebuilt/rewired it and have fitted everything on it thats required for me to be able to use in on the road.

I've bored you all enough now so let me know what you think.

Cheers for your time,

Steve.

Welcome aboard ! And as far as likes and dislikes, as I tell my friends (well, they are more just people I stop on the street to ask if they have some spare change :wink: ) 'different strokes for different folks eh ? ' 8)
