    Greetings

    Greetings one and all from another noob to this forum.

    Not much to tell about me, been not allowed to own a bike for the last 10 or so years, bought one to repair, then another to ride, got close and personal with the black stuff and after being told my bike was a write off and was worth $650 by the insurance company ( tell me why should I pay you $500 plus per year went down a treat with them I can tell you ) I decided to repair this bike myself. Went looking on the net of resources to get the forks straightened and found this very informative site. Thanks to previous questions problems solved on that issue. A few hours worth of my labour, a bit of welding here and there and this bike will be on the road again.

    Moral of the story.

    Sometime you can actually win in life if you are prepared to do it everything yourself, have a couple of clues, and can look for the answers.
    Its not the destination that is important its the journey.

    Welcome to KB
    To every man upon this earth
    Death cometh sooner or late

    For the ashes of his fathers
    And the temples of his Gods
