    Hi, Andrew here from Tamworth. Just bought a Yamaha FZR 250 3ln3 (thanks to greyimport's influence). We picked it up from Sydney on the weekend. Here begins a new journey......

    Welcome to the forum, your master who lives under the guise of Greyimport has embarked you on a journey of torment, pain, frustration the likes you have never seen. Please take the time grasshopper to read his manifesto
    MY FIZZER, you will begin to understand the implications.
    All jokes aside Andrew, trust you have less troubles with your ride than Grey has had, it has been said that this man is into pain???
    Good luck with your project, hope it all pans out for you, we look forward to following your progress, again welcome on board mate.:thumb_ups:

    Welcome Andrew.
    As a friend of Grey's you will no doubt know of his pain and frustrations, so grab a beer and join the fun. :thumb_ups:

    Yes, exactly. I am an admirer of the amber fluid, and understand that it is an essential element of working on these bikes (as well as hanging out with greyimport...haha!)

    Normally I encourage new members to the forum to pull up a bar stool, crack a few beers and get involved. Looks like you are well on your way to fitting right in.

    Good luck with the project :)
