Nikolas

Hello everybody.  Last night I picked up an 89 GS500 for cheap cheap cheap.  It's my 3rd bike, I've been riding for two years, I must already be bored with it!!  I'm used to older bikes so this is a new experience for me (emmissions hoses everywhere ahh!!)  I was actually looking for a cb350 when I ran across this.


The Vespa is my daily ride, but I just rebuilt the engine for the second time this year (200cc two stroke weEeeE!).  Just painted the MR2 a month ago.  I'm not sure how far I'm going to go with the gs.

Anyway, it needs some work..  I have acid sitting in the tank right now, and I cleaned the carbs out earlier (narsty!!)  It's also missing the front mc and caliper (on the way from ebay.)  I'll start a list on the buy/sell forum for everything I need.

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?
