My entry to the main Show and Shine this year plus Survivor s&s on Saturday. Under good authority, it was the very first Gen 2 Master in the U.K, recorded as one of the earliest on the Haro Registry and was given to a factory rider Jon Shepherd of Custom Riders by Bob himself during the 84 tour. The bike was used in shows and also by the Haro trick team on occasions. The photo below is Jon on the vert (which overlooked this huge pool - i'll show you at mk). The 84 that Jon is riding below has some different parts to what is shown but that's a later pic that's been supplied to me about an hour ago. Typical of us all back in the day, always switching things around!
The bike is in beautiful survivor condition and i'm proud to own such a piece of history.
Without boring the pants of you, I'll tell you more about it at MK if you want.
I hope you like it...
Matt :daumenhoch:

That is a nice bike :)
Cheers fella, appreciate it fistblump.
It never stood a chance at MK against all the other heavy weights there, but it is a piece of history and pride and place in my man cave :daumenhoch:

The red and blue also reminds me of how I used to run my Trident bitd. :daumenhoch:
