    Hi All

    I have recently picked up a 1990 CBR250RR MC22.

    10408695_10152621024706945_2241324521732574502_n.jpg

    After some false starts which included breaking the petcock during the inspection and running the battery flat trying to start it like a rookie..I managed to get the bike to @kiffsta's place on Saturday afternoon and he helped me to replace the petcock, plugs, oil and filter. Since then it's been running like a dream and the next 24 hours involved runs up Cootha, Glorious and Mee. I don't really have much of a reference point, but the bike feels absolutely amazing to me!

    Looking forward to sharing my stories, planning some rides and learning more about these great machines from all of you.

    Hit me up anytime..

    Cheers
    Michael

    Well you better buy Kiffsta some beers.
    They are only 250cc but they are enormous fun.

    Welcome mate. I see you like doing the same mountain runs I do. I live 15 mins from Blacksoil. Once my fork seals are done I'm always up for a ride. I finish at 11 am most days. So after @kiffsta 's garage day we can hit some mountains up
