I bought a new set of wheels and they were too pretty to put on my shonky Yakuza.

So i had to find somewhere to put 'em! :D

My new beast purchased on Sunday.

Fairly stock except for wheels, tyres, saddle and grips.

Would like to bling it up with a chainguide and stuff , but for some reason i'm broke. :rolleyes:

Had her first ride Sunday arvo and it handled like a dream. Cant wait to get back out again on the weekend.
