Thanks for your comments guys. I've had this bike since new apart from 3 days when it was nicked. My world fell apart when it was stolen about 6 months after Christmas. A few days later I was chatting to a mate who went to a different school than me when he said there was a guy selling an ET Kuw for £40, if someone wants to buy it the go to the fighting cock pub that eve. Well me & another mate rode straight down, luckly on the way I bumped into my Dad who was driving the other way, I flagged him down & got in the car, leaving my mate Lee to take my sisters bike home!

When we got to the pub sure enough there was a group of lads stood around a matt grey (primer) bike, my Dad went straight over & grabbed the bike & checked the frame number.... it was mine!  :D

We just chucked it in the boot of the Cortina & shot off, didnt want to ask any questions, didnt care who nicked it just happy to get it back. I often wonder what i would have done if i didnt meet my Dad, I was 13, these lads were alot older than me, theres no way I would have got it back. As many of you know once a bike it nicked its usually gone for good.

I do feel attached to this bike which made this build feel special.  :smitten:
