Hey everyone

Hey everyone, thought I'd better post an introduction. My name's andrew but my mates call me Lorby. I just picked up my first motorcycle on Saturday.

A 1987 GPX250. Pretty good nick, didn't make any bad noises and was cheap, so I'm happy :D

Please ignore the betty boop stickers, they're gone now :shock:

The bike is currently naked though. I'll leave the fairings off till I'm a little bit more confident on the bike, wouldn't want to drop them :shock:.

Thanks guys, I look forward to sticking around for a while.

I said so in the other thread too - but welcome.
I learnt on an old '89 GPX250 - pretty much the same as yours.
Was a blast and ran rings around much bigger bikes - you'll have fun.
Join the sydney/north regulars on Sundays for a ride on the old pacific hwy (OPH) - viewtopic.php?f=5&t=15269&st=0&sk=t&sd=a&start=2200
Many will be down south at PI for the supers this weekend, but a few will likely be out.
