Me
Hey all,
I figured I would formally introduce myself. I took the MSF course last spring but never got around to getting a bike. About a week ago I was visiting a friend and saw a little green GZ sitting in his garage. He had bought it from the NH DMV at a state auction. It is a former MSF training bike. He does not ride and only bought it to fix it up and sell it. He lost interest in the project and offered to sell it me for a decent price. Now I own my first motorcycle and I am loving it. Its a 1999 with 3700 miles on it. It has never been registered and has never seen anything but a parking lot. Its definately in need of some minor TLC but I am happy with it. I have ordered all the parts I need to get it on the road. I am hoping to have it on the road in a week or two. This site has already been a huge help to me from the troubleshooting area, to the service manuals which I downloaded. Login or Register to Remove Ads |

Re: Me
Welcome,that is really low mileage for a 99 model.Should give you many miles of enjoyment.You should change the tires even if they look good,unless sombody already did.As old tires get hard and have dry rot.Good luck!

Re: Me
Here she is just after I took her off the back of the truck.
All she needs is some Mirrors, Clutch and Brake Levers, right foot peg and shifter. The MSF school would strip parts off bike and put them on others when people dropped them. All the parts have been ordered and are on the way. |
