Why previous SKYWAY owner, WHY?

Why would anyone paint over original decals and paint? And poorly at that.
Any TA guys know what year this is? Paint is thick on the BB, took the black
off but the white is still thick. Dave.

This is the first time that's happened again!

I told my doctor I broke my arm in two places...
He told me not to go to those places.

I'll tell you why, because most the general public are flucking morons.


I can not sit still. I have been tested for A.D.D. and A.D.H.D. and have neither. I don't need coffee, I just need a B.M.X. or surfboard to consistently ride and I'll be happy. smile

Or they did it drunk.  tongue
