Hello From The UK

#1

Post by Gonzo1 »

Hello All,
I am the lucky owner of a 1980 NGW, it was originally Red but during it's long life, its been Cafe Racer'd. Matte Black different mudguards, rear lamp etc, I'm not a fan of the Matte paint so have simply clear coated it and added some 1200 bars, I love the bike, it suits me, but I will keep on doing more, I love the look of the Valkerie and have seen what some guys have done on here. I ride every day, but I have a Triumph Trophy for going to work etc, but I really love the no nonsense feel of the NGW, no more electrics than strictly necessary!
