Shame my photographic skills are not developing as quick as my lust for Torkers. Sorry about these but I have just finished sticking this together and wanted to take a few quick photos so I can crack open a beer and watch the footy.
With the nights drawing in I thought I needed a new cruiser to get me riding in to work more (it'll be locked indoors when I'm there, so no sniffing London streets trying to nick it ::)).

Two things ive always hated about BMX,
1. Torkers.
2. Cruisers.

Love it! I love Torkers. Yours is great. Nice job
-
that really is up there with some of the best builds, so where you get it? how old is it? whats its name?
-
:coolsmiley: awsome i gotta get me one of them
-
Thanks for the compliments.
Got the F&F off t'Bay from a bloke in LA. He had just had it stripped and coated.
I don't think they had names as such back then, it's from '82 so before the X factor had hit Torker. Just called a Torker 24ins I think. Anyway, definitely my new best ride. I've just changed the tyres for some 1.5ins whitewalls for riding to work. Good incentive for getting up in the morning.
-
Thats super nice SE, If it was mine I would probably skip work and just carry on riding :LolLolLolLol:
Good job mate

I'd stick some different pedals on a rider and save those mint looking DX's!
-
god i regret selling my cruiser 4 months ago .NIce ride take a good lock .
-
I figured life's too short to worry about scratches. Riding it very nervously though. It flies off the lights.
