Smile Hope I'm still welcome....

Hi guys...

As the title says " I hope i'm still welcome here" LOL...

After my little excursion to Aussie, i'm back in Godzone.

I've bought another bike/project.

An 85 Suzuki GSX R 750.

Its in pretty good cond for her age and has done 45k so low too.

The only downfall is that a previous owner has painted her bright yellow.

The plan is to break up the yellow with some graphics for our summer then strip her back and paint it in the original blue/black scheme.

I got her nice and cheap and will triple its value once its back to original.

Then i'll sell her get my *** back on a Honda...

So go easy on me huh.... LOL....

G'day Bazz. Oz too hot?? Mate Good to see you're still ok. Hopefully you can get a bike soon. LOL
As my local bike shop said the other day "At least you're on two wheels". I suppose one positive is you'll appreciate a Honda after the Spuzuki.

LOL... Cheers guys...

This is the second Suzi i've owned and done up... Guys dont seem to look after them as well as Honda's....

I got her for $1500 NZD and good original cond ones are going for around $4000NZD.

Still unsure what Honda i'm gonna get back onto... Thinking about giving a Fireblade a whirl...
