Just thought I would post a little eye candy I came across in Northern Iraq today. Best of all, not a bit of rust on this beauty :flipoff2: :flipoff2: :flipoff2:

I will post new cruisers every once in a while.

There are a shit load of cruisers here, everything including 40's, 45's, 60's, 62's............you get the idea.

Cheers,

tp

TOM -- WTF are you thinking? I know you had a good time in Pakinstan, but just had to go back and check out more cruisers?

See some of us our content to READ "Who needs a road" other folks need to go see the roads for themselves.

Take care Dude!

Tom won't tell you, but I will, he won the AP award in the state of Texas last year as the top photojournalist.
UTA did a gallery showing of his images he took in Afganastan last year, I will post a link that you can search the KRT archives and see all the images of his they have used.
The only problem, is TP is an adrenilane junky, so I worry a bit when he is in situations like this.

Do what you can to save all the cruisers from us if we go to war. Surely the red cross has some kind of program for refugee cruisers.

Being in the "cough cough" canadian military, I promise not to shoot any cruisers if I go over there!

If I had a choice, that is one place I would not want to be. As a matter of fact I wouldn't want to be anywhere in the middle east, cruisers or not!
Uncle Sam might have a different view point though!:skull:

I think Man-a-fre has those guns and mounts on their website.......of course they are backordered and wont be in for 6 months......but if you put down a credit card - they will be glad to order you one and sell yours to someone else when it comes in.

also notice the full flaoting rear diff, the lockout flanges on the front (no hubs) and what looks to be a chrome grille? ;)

kidding, that is a nice and straight machine

i LOVE the gun mounts, reminds me of this pic:

although looking again, i think it needs some better tyres, and maybe a lift :flipoff2: and lots of chrome :flipoff2:

i love that gun going off :D FLAMES ARE COOL

More to come too.

TP,

I think you need to be careful. You can't afford to lose any more weight.... Don't want to turn into a thinner stick boy....:D
