[bike in a box]

Hi

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

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!

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.

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.
