    Hey guys. I finally decided to go for my learners after 7 years of driving. Will be attempting the course in a little under 2 weeks and am in the process of purchasing a rather rough looking zxr250 but it seems to run quite well and the mechanical side is in pretty good condition just need to get it registered. I'm new to motorcycles so I hope to learn quite a bit from being here.

    Cheers mate. Looking forward to getting out and riding. I'll message old mate and see what he has available as the bike I'm buying needs a windscreen and front fender.

    Welcome mate... do you have any pics of the bike? we have plenty of help for your with an A model.. I am currently wrecking 2 of them so if you ever need parts give me a yell.... Also there is no such thing as a silly question so if you want to know anything about your bike you need only ask..

    cheers

    Cheers mate. I'm actually after a front windscreen if you have one. No pics of the bike yet as it doesn't get delivered until the weekend. It's definitely nothing special yet...

    Done a bit of digging on eBay and have found some that are quite cheap but shipping is pretty slow.

    Normally I would be happy to wait but I need to get the bike in the road ASAP so the wife has a car. Happy wife = happy life...
