To be honest this type of build is why I love BMX..... that looks like a kid in flared jeans and long hair is about to slide round a berm or jump a pile of dirt just found on some waste-ground :daumenhoch:

Absolutely first class build mate - anyone in their mid to late 40's knows a Motomag instantly, it's an ICON :4_17_5:
