Damn can't get the same bike as Bill. Like going to a ball in the same dress!  :LolLolLolLol:

Not much choice in the 24" cruisers. So may have to be the Flyer.
Gonna go down the shop tomorrow to try them out.  :daumenhoch:

I'm still riding my Black 2006 Kuwahara Pro 24" Cruiser nice bike and very light. I only thing I always find the Bars aren't wide enough though so swapped them out for larger ones, apart from that it's still all stock parts.
