Hi mate its more of a hobby and i love working on bikes as much as I love riding them! I do sell some though as I need the room. Currently have 5 bikes at the moment!

Bike looks great though

What is wrong with the sliders?

That's a tax disc holder. In the UK we need to pay tax to use the roads, and in return we get super shitty roads and an awesome thing call a "tax disc" to display on our bikes!
