i wasnt planning on spending any money on the ar but now i have seen the goodies bdk have im tempted

It's hard to call any bike other than a moped chavvy, but a DT with a Stella sticker on the side certainly comes close

Just out of curiosity, is AR a contraction of the word Anorexic? It's tiny. Still, cool collection of strokers. NEED MOAR MZ though.
