It did attach.
Thanks alot for the info.
Whats the deal about the tires having rough edges? Any pics?
It says review wheels, refer to guide? Do you have a guide? What am I looking for here?
Same with chains and sprockets.
Thanks again brad

Rough edges on the tires means that it's probably been raced, or at least rode really hard. You're looking for something like this.

Naw, I don't have a guide. I got that check list through various websites I searched when I was looking for my first bike. Some of the things that are referenced are extreme cases, but something to be aware of. In general you will get a feel for the owner once you meet him/her and tell what kind of rider the person was/is and how well they maintained their bike(s). The first think I look at is the chain, it's a dead giveaway. If the chain is rusty, this person didn't care too much for the bike and just rode it and now wants another bike whether anything is wrong with it or not. But that's a sign to look for other potential malfunctions or problems that the bike may have. Also, some sellers are very clever and you won't find out what is really up with the bike until you do your first oil change, air filter or whatever 'cause most likely you have to remove the fairings. Under the fairings is where the real shyt is at. Be aware if anything has been replaced recently, ask why? Ask a lot of questions.

Anyway, good luck, take your time and remember there are PLENTY of bikes out there. If it doesn't feel right at first don't rush into anything, I know it's easier said than done.
