Default And it begins!... again...

Hey guys, I'm Jeff from the good old state of Arkansas. I was finally able to get my first bike a little 250 rebel last summer after years and years a waiting... Finally not too long ago i was able to upgrade to my dream bike the 600rr or as i like to call her "Roxy"...

Here’s a quick little rundown of our history so far:

we meet through craigslist, she was about an hour away and needed some TLC from her jerk x...she was supposedly "salvaged" but from the looks of her there was nothing wrong but the plastics and lucky for me when i got the papers in my name she in fact has a clean title . The trouble started the first day i brought her home, it turns out the back break plays in important part in keeping the wheel spaced and off of the swing arm. Wish i had known that before taking her out that first day...

So began the adventure of fixing her up, it took me about 2 months because i only had time every other weekend to work on her. But finally a week before Xmas she was done, well I then decided to take her out (keep in mind December in NW Arkansas is pretty cold) well Cold + new tires + new bike+ new rider = low slide turning off of my street...

Now I’m finally done with school for the summer and getting to start phase two!! "The upgrade"

Welcome aboard Jeff. I know that dream bike feeling as well. ;-)

Hope you get Roxy "upgraded" the way you want.
