    Hi everyone,

    Great forum you guys seem to have going here!

    I own a 1999 ZXR250. Great little bike, heaps of poke for a learner bike and it runs great. I'd post some pics but the bike's currently in a few pieces haha (more info here http://2fiftycc.com/index.php?threads/zxr250-cam-chain-slack-guides-and-replacement.1607/)

    I've had the bike for a year now, shipped it up from Melbourne. Half the reason I wanted a bike was so I could learn how to work on it. Have always wanted to learn but didn't want to try on my car because if I screw up I wouldn't be able to get around, and it would be generally more expansive. The bike is cheaper to work on and I can still get around if its out of action. Plus its alot more fun!

    Anyone else from the Newcastle area?

    Cheers, Peli
