Stavross 13,720 Posted June 14, 2018 Report Share Posted June 14, 2018 (edited) I’d be over the moon with that, my mrs made me sell my RM 250 slingshot years ago to buy a sofa for our first house It won’t be long before your heart is in your mouth watching him airborne I also had a KX 500 for a bit, but I spent more time falling of that than riding it Edited June 14, 2018 by Stavross 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
