Hi from a new CHCH rider.

Well at the moment I aint riding, due to two project bikes on the go.

I have a 1985 Suzuki GSXR400, which I am needing to sort out a gastket set for, so I can put the motor back together after it dropped a valve and buggered the head.
Long story on this one, brought it as a project may years ago, got it going and sold it to a family member, they finished it, rode it for a while, blew the head, got spares, then sold it back to me many years later, now all I need is a gasket set when I get my A into G!!!

Heres a pic of what it looked like originaly, mine has a custom paint job (which I did myself), Black pearl of my own mix, and a frost finish (silver with blue edges) on the rims.

I also have a 1980 Suzuki TF185 which I am doing a rebuild job on.

So no riding for me at the moment till I get something back on the road.

Anyway, tonight is the first time I had seen this forum, so it's good to see that the Kiwi riders have a place to chat!!
