Title: 1985 GT PRO PERFORMER
Post by: DIRTBIKER250F on April 25, 2009, 12:05 PM: Right lads, 2 months ago i found out that one of my best mates got the news through he was gonna be a first time dad at 37, this was a mate i rode with b.i.t.d and he had a GT Performer then, roll on 26 yrs and Mark always talked about my Gt Performer. Considering he is away round the world most of the year, the news about him being a dad took us all by surprise. Anyway i had a chrome 85 frame from Swivel as part of the Gen1 Deal that was just sat in my room, i had the idea to build a budget Performer and give it to him when his bairn is born. A cpl of PM's on here and some parts i had lying around later i have completed a build that i am now gonna give away to him, he has no idea :LolLolLolLol:, just want to thank some guys on Rad that helped me build this.

Cheers WARDY,J.T,FIREBIRD,NCUS who made this possible on a tight budget, also BIG DOG, STODGY EAMONN GASHEAD for being site lovelies.

Sorry for the boring shit above, just thought i would tell you the back ground to his build, also if you see it riding around Seaton Carew give him a beep :daumenhoch:
