Hey everyone. Names Gareth. I'm 20 and live near frankston, VIC.
I just bought myself a pretty red 89 ZXR250A. It's a bit scratched up, but it runs like a dream! Don't want anything too fancy or expensive for a first one anyway.
I've never ridden a motorbike before, but I've always wanted too. This opportunity arose cos a friend was selling it, and he gave me mates rates, so i had to get it.
Any help, tips, advice or cheap riding gear would be much appreciated!
see yas round!

Hi Gareth, welcome to the Club mate. If you have any questions about tyre pressures, best fuel, best tyres or what your next bike should be, you are *guaranteed* to get the answers to all those questions, and also the answers to several more questions you haven't even thought of yet, from this Forum !!

Hey there, welcome.
You picked a good group to join, they are a great bunch of people
What size are you ? I have a black XL jacket (mens, not leather) I've only used a few times. I'll send a pic if you're interested.
