    Can someone in Wellington come check out a bike with me???

    I was wondering if anyone could please come with me to check out a motorbike in Brooklyn, Wellington. its a 1985 VT250F. The only reason i ask is because of its age and the fact that it has done 51km and im not sure what i'd be looking for if something should be wrong with a bike like that. Any hel p much appreciated and will be rewarded appropiatley.
    Cheers,
    Matt

    I was going to offer as I know these bikes well but I think Crasher is way more qualified than me

    Are you sure they don't all just wanna have a go on it?









    just kidding. Pete will see you right.
    And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

    Hey! Mafu, You need to change your details....
    Well done on the purchase. Take you time and get to know the new baby. Before long, you will wonder what all the fuss was about.
    I'm only wearing black until they develop something darker




    We came, We listened, And in one voice we answered
    BULLSHIT!! BULLSHIT!! BULLSHIT!! BULLSHIT!! BULLSHIT!!
