    Gidday.

    The brief run down would be i started riding at age 16. Between 17 and 20 I had 5 zxr250s.

    I chatted to and old friend from back then who had their zxr still in the garage.

    I replaced the motor in it back in around 2012 I believe.

    So I've ended up acquiring it at the ripe age for a motorcyclist of 36.

    Put about 2000km on so far.

    Based in northland, New Zealand if there's anybody up for adventures.

    Welcome, now about your post.
    Say what? On this forum you have to be at least 70 to use that vernacular. :)
