Explored the world to return to where my soul begun
Never looking back or too far in front of me
The present is a gift

No prob buddy this is a great place to ask the? I think the first couple ask the owner about common things like oil change, break in period, valve adjustment stuff like that. Then you your self can check out chain tension and sporket and chain wear. Look in the gas tank see if it is rusty and check to see if the fork seals are leaking. Thast all i can think of right now. :thumb: :thumb: :thumb:
A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof, is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools....

Thanks to advances in automation, Nike shoes will be made by robots. Unfortunately, the robots will be made by children in Malaysia.

The motorcycle is no longer the hobby, the skill has become the hobby.

Power does not compare to skill.  What good is power without the skill to use it?
