Yes i guess we all loose our mates - i will get another bike one day i miss it like crazy i'm the same as you had bikes since i was 7 and im now 41 this year so it's a big part of my life style missing heres a couple of pics of the street fighter i managed to find - this bike was supposed to be going in the AWOL Magazine But two weeks before the photo shoot i laid it down on a roundabout covered in deisel and wrote it off - that was my claim to fame lost lol!

cool i'm a bit of a bike nut myself mind you i'm without one right now but in the past i've built a few streetfighters - use to love building bikes but just dont seem to have the same enthusiasum these days as both my riding buddies were killed within a month of each other it put me off a little so i'm having a rest bite for now - but still keep thinking of getting another project :-)
