[bike in a box]

Hi

I thought seeing as i've posted a couple of times i'd better intro myself :laugh:

Im jay and live on the west coast.. former pillion and about to get a class 6 newbie.
Before i can get my licence tho i have to finish rebuilding the bike ... an 86/87 gpz250 ninja, did anyone elses dad tell them not to buy an old car? I think the same applies to bikes <_< but never mind every one needs a hobby...

look forward to talking to you all

The coast of which island ??? My father GAVE me an old car that I had to fix before I could drive it. You look after it better if you've spent a shitload of time working on it. Same applies to bikes. Remember, do it ONCE...do it RIGHT. Got a workshop manual for the Kawa. ???
Looked up your Profile... A west coast MAINLANDER. Did you get to Woodstock ???

Velcom! We promise to be gentle!:cool:

Hope your bike doesn't need too much to get it on the road. Got some great biking roads down your way, we hope to get down there soon.

mmm... a few bits are missing and broken ...am currently building franken-fender (moohoowaha!!) as you just cant get bits for this model in NZ (trust me to get a weird one!) am waiting on fairing from the uk But I still need a radiator, a horn AND a right hand riser bar.. other than that it runs oh and sucks enormous amounts of cash

Welcome to the nuthouse!
When you get your bike finished look out for rides passing through your neck of the woods & join in where you can.
