I wondered when this would pop up... Lucky fella

I was in the running for this... Nice one

I you type grisly into the rbuk search it will give you some threads on the grisley

I may have read it wrong but it looks like your grisly should be 89-91

yeah i have taken a guess at 1990 as this is in the middle

i would love to enter it in bike of the month but i haven't got the cash to buy all the bling and replace some of the worn out parts maybe one day

as to bling..overated if you love the bike and sometimes a good clean straight genuine example is just as impressive..give it a clean and polish I'm sure all will look much better

I keep checking ebay to see if there are anymore sliding through on the cheap

 

[johnnypie13]

if one day i get the bike im after and if i can afford it

alpinestar TI-mega i may sell this one and a few of the other ones too.
