This is Roman Levin’s Suzuki DRZ Cafe. You can find more of his work at Full of Hate Cycle Fabrication. Your thoughts? I was busy looking at something else when Kenny came sauntering up behind me...
Yeah, yeah. So I may have gotten my bike slightly stuck in a mud hole on Saturday during the Hammer Run in Jersey. The trails were dry with a few small spots of water...
