Title: 1984 GHP Cruiser
Post by: Mattdub on August 03, 2009, 09:39 PM: I decided to do another two bikes this year for the RAD MK meet , with 6-8 weeks to go to the event ( a bit more time than last year ! ) I built this and my GJS Freestyler .

My April 1984 GHP 24" ;) .

OK , back to bicycles....your a class act Matt, never see a hair out of place on your builds, no compromises, tons of credibility to what you build with all the cool parts, real connoisseur stuff. But what a cnut.... :yahoo_silent: ;)

What bars you running, look like powerwings? I got some of the GHP cruiser bars last year and had them chromed for Woodys Jag, then Woody did a deal with JJ for the original Star Bars for it so the GHP'a are going begging but I doubt you would put newer bars on a classic like that?

Post by: baldbmxer on August 03, 2009, 10:01 PM: Loverly build Matt, ESP stem :smitten: and a nice detail with the ESP decal on the plate ::)

Running Powerlites Clive , ran 'em bitd on my Gorila too .... loved em :daumenhoch: .

Thanks for the kind words guys ;) . P/bucket seems to reduce my images too far ! , they looked the dogs before I put 'em on there ffs ! lol . It saves 'em at 800x600 , should I try 1024x768 ? . I'm a bit of an amateur with the camera :-[ .
