Fixed that up, going pretty good now considering the length of time it sat for... Close to 10years!
Then it was onto my uncles XR250 that was out of action for about 7years. Got that up to scratch with very little work indeed and using that for my offroad/farm bike atm.
Looking at buying a mates CB250RS off him atm and getting it on the road, but seeing as I'm pretty new to the whole bike game I'm mainly after some advice on these things.
So if anyone could give me the heads up on what to look out for before I buy it that'd be awesome and an owners manual would be pretty handy too if anyone happened to have one?
I did a search and saw a post that was talking about these bikes but it was old and I couldn't PM anyone yet so thought I'd just post this up here.
Hopefully I've done it right!
Anyways, that's enough rambling for now so thanks to all in advance.
Cheers,
Graham.
Hi Graham,
I started riding in Dunedin in 1964 on a moped! I went through a Suzuki 150 amd a Suzuki 250 before I went over to the dark side & bought a car for a few years. My least fond memories were of trying to stop on ice while going down some of Dunedin's hills. Still, it was a baptism of fire about learning to ride.
I have owned a bike for most of my life, but am now back in to it more seriously here in Auckland. Am hoping I may bring a bike down your way this summer. Anyway, ride safe on those hills down there my friend. Regards, Tony
