then this year at kelso an old mate from back in the day says over a few frosty beers that he has my old Armandos frame and i can have it for free ( good fella chives ) In the morning he says that wasnt the just the drink talking , you can have it , but its not in very good nick :(
Roll on a couple of weeks and i go and pick it up , and he was right its rough as a badgers arse but fair play to gary ( i think it saved him hiring a skip ) ;)

I know its rough has hell but its a part of my scootering history so i have already started the ball rolling by buying bits to rebuild it but not as it was before .
