Sweet ride!! Mine is a GSX-R600. 2005 with only 10k miles on it. My friend got it to me for $2500 so it would have been stupid not to get it! She really moves!

Thanks Steve! Haven't touched my car since Sunday!
What's that I think I read about your bike being broken? I thought you just got her fixed?

I just picked up a 1971 Bridgestone 200 from a party that owed me some
money. I am not a motorcycle person, but it seems to be all original and
in pretty good shape with around 6500 miles. Any info would be helpful.

Justin: Brake lever snapped off.
Bill: Use premium gas and make sure the kick stand is up before you put it into gear.

Sounds like reasonable advice. Thanks!

I keep forgetting you guys on the other side of the pond have crappy petrol as an option
Over here the worst you can get is Diesel
, sorry 95 ron
Although I usually use 97 ron as my car won't run on anything less
and my bike has a sticker on it which says don't put anything less than 95 in it

eh? depends on where you are. options here are 92/95/97 most of the time. Once in a while you see a place with 88, but rarely. Plus our diesel isn't nearly as refined as yours.

*grin* Don't know why I waited so long to get a bike!! Best decision I've ever made! Steve, isn't that a pretty easy fix? Also, just had my first ride in the rain tonight! Is it crazy that I enjoyed it?
