    Marlborough KBers

    I have a favour to ask of one of you guys, There is a Honda XL500s for sale in your area, that I am interested in, could I get one of you who has reasonable bike knoledge to check it out for me, from what I can see from the photos it looks very straight and original, I understand the bike is around the Blenheim area.
    What I need checked is the internal fuel tank condition, seals on the front forks, any sighn of weeping, if they are thats not a problem, condition of rear shocks, If you can give it a bit of a run that would be good to, listen for knocks and rattles that are above normal.
    I would prefer some one who had some thing to do with them in back in the day, the XR 500 A was a similar bike.
    Could you please PM me and let me know when would suit you to have a look for me, and I will PM you back his contact details.

    Thanks Pedro

    There are two kinds of adventurers: those who go truly hoping to find adventure and those who go secretly hoping they won't. We should come home from our adventures having faced their perils and uncertainties, endured their discomfort and beaten the odds, with a sly acknowledgment and revitalised solidarity of character.

    I'll email if you want and get her number. Could also have a look in due course if I'm there.
