    Hey everyone.

    Just bought my first bike yesterday. Its a 1980 yamaha xs250, its fairly rough but its gonna be a good tinkering/project for me to keep myself busy. Completely new to bikes. I have never had to much exposure to them. So looking forward to learning and talking to you all.

    Cheers

    It looks like a good blank canvas though Terry, it's got some nice wide forks on it. As they say in some car circles "It's got a nice stance".

    A mate and I bought a project XS250 not too long ago. I know he has a crate of spares. Let me know what you need, he might be able to part with something I am not sure.

    Oh look, one that hasn't been butchered (yet).
    Still has the stock air box so it will run ok too.
