Bought A Bike!
Discussion
Afternoon all, thanks to those that answered me in this thread: http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/gassing/topic.asp?h=0...
I bought the bike last night and am now dead excited! DAS is booked with my test on the 11th August. Hopefully I'll be a proper biker soon - I'm renting a 125 this weekend for a day to get some practice in (my CBT was about a month ago) ready for my DAS course.
As far as the bike goes, my mechanic thinks it wants a service, battery and a new chain (for peace of mind - it's actually not in bad nick). Other than that he warned me to keep an eye on the rad pipes in case they've perished at all. Started up no probs with some jump leads from my car battery, even the lights worked!
So that's my next few weekends filled getting it road-ready! My first ride post-test will be to the MOT centre though
Right, just got to start saving for the ZX-10R now
Edit: For those that didn't read the other thread, it's a '95 GPZ500S with 11k on it.
