Started with this... note the TT

Russ J · « **Reply #73 on:** January 25, 2018, 08:50 PM »

I did have an old account on here but from what I remember the site went tits up (if I remember rightly) and I had to open another account...I'm pretty sure I posted this bike on page 2 of this thread (I can see my old post under my name but no phtots there though)...

Anyway here's some photos of my Blue/Chrome Firebird...I built this bike around 2012/2013 something like that....The F&F I bought from a member on here called Robbo (not sure if he still logs on ?) It was painted green when I got it but I had plans for a chrome job

...

As I bought the bike...seriel number 4943
