This time prehaps.. ZXR250

[Gremlin]

But you fixed it up .
I'll send this zx down the road to give it more value

Only some of it is fixed, after a bit of difficulty (thanks SpankMe) I now have a gallery of shots, so you can see the changes.

Note that some of the shots are taken on the centre stand, its now back on. Better yet, the shot of the back tyre hopefully shows how much has been used I would say that less than 10mm on each side is virgin...

Well thanks guys. At this point I've decided to go for it (with one more quick check of the front arms when I pick it up). I'll try to get it for $1700 (really I should try for $1600, since that's really the most cash I'm likely to be able to get over the weekend) But I'm happy enough with 1800 if not. I'll post a pic of the monstrosity I've brought sometime tomorrow so you can tell me what a bad move I've made

Well good luck go as low as you can and move up! good luck!

Yea well I can safely say that that tire has being on its edges - I rode it very hard thats why I binned so much (and bad luck) I used to roll off the tire sometimes! thats the sort of lean I got on those arrowmax's - sorry I broke their virginity before you but you can have sloppy seconds!

[Gremlin]

Oh, I assumed you had already, but obviously from no wear the sides became dirty, and I wanted clean tyres. Not there yet, but virgin for me.

To the edge and beyond (well maybe not beyond). I don't think I see it as sloppy seconds though. My bike loves me coz I treat it nice...

Ouch, I'll have you know I used to patt the tank when it was a good bike and give it a full clean every day just like my zxr, I look after my bikes good'n

You may crash the bikes a bit, but not even I clean my bike every day, then again, it ain't in perfect condition, so the cleanliness isn't quite as noticeable as the scratches.

Either I'm riding, thinking about riding, dreaming about riding, or just standing looking at the bike

or umm talking to it

Tis not when you talk to them that you need worry, but when they talk to you

Hey sefer, where abouts in Chch are you? I'm only a couple of stones throws from norjo motors myself. I've never had the same guy twice at the sockburn testing station and I'm a bit dubious about a couple of them.

[sefer]

I'm just in Hornby. I didn't take the WOF guy check as gospel, but it satified mye about a few points on the bike. I know the guy I got actually used to work down the LSTA testing station in Jipco Rd 6 months or so ago because I've had him there before.

[Gremlin]

Have you got the bike yet??

[sefer]

Yep, got it yesterday (but had already promised to spend the day/night with the G/f).
Already fixed the tank issus (the bracket wasn't on at all), and the horn is done, just need to find the time to do the chain.

Photos as promised..

(and the tank etc is just sitting there btw, I'd had it off)
