Post by: darksunday on October 26, 2012, 11:33 PM: ahaha, cheers mister!

sorry for the thread de-rail,

the book is ok, most of the bikes in there are pretty legit builds, theres a few cobblers but on the whole its ok,
would it sound bad if I said, it was better than expected?

I was surprised more of the great builds from RAD weren't in it tbh,
