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!
Gareth

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.
