hey everyone, im ed from mt gambier. currently not riding due to loss of license, still a few more months left before i can get on the road, its breaking my balls! haha ive occasionally browsed a few threads on here before but now that ive joined, i can see its a pretty awesome forum! lots of enthusiasts and no douches and lots of great info. sweet. i am a proud owner of a Suzuki gsx250f and since joining this forum ive noticed there a frickin tonne of these bikes out there. mines a 94 with 22xxx on the clock and i bloody love it. picked the bike up mid last year but have been slowly getting it up to a nice standard, even though it was in great nick, pretty much stripped it down and cleaned every nook and cranny. now in the process of respraying it. il give it a huge service when im nearing the end of my license loss term. but generally getting bits and pieces ready to give it an awesome send off for its first trip in forever! haha anyways, much impressed with the site and people. thanks again
Hey Edwardo or ed for short Welcome to the forum. Sorry about the license issue, bit hard when the bike is just sitting there. As you say a good time to give the once over. Like your choice of bike, great machine. Some photos of your trustee steed would be great. Phil
Hi ed welcome to the forum I can relate to the no licence problem as I had a similar experience many years ago when I had more money to waste on fines. I still go fast just smarter ;D At least you are putting the down time to good use and getting the bike spot on.
Yeah you're right, no license sucks and just having the bike sitting there is even worse! My own fault but I always learn the hard way and I'm really happy with it its been reliable as. They definitely have a large following on here haha. I reckon I've got some pics around here somewhere il upload when I can
Hey Edwardo, thanks for your feedback about the site, its very much appreciated !!!! we certainly do have some across owners on here and hope to get plenty more. Looking forward to seeing some pics of your Bike, what colour will you spray it ? take it easy Chris
so i posted some pics before but i dont think i did it properly ha so heres the second attempt. heres my bike, plus my brothers old ninja 250 and my friends cbr250rr. hmm about the colour, i was pretty set on a really nice pearl white off the new honda accords but my painter just got back to me with prices... sadly way out of my budget, even with a few cashies i did for him backing me up (im an electrician). so im settling for a nice bright, crisp white with maybe something in the top coat. but im open to suggestions/opinions if someone on here has seen a decent paint job or colour. its just i saw an across painted white on ebay and i think it looked great. but yeah
gah my internets is not complying with me at the moment will upload some more tomorrow maybe. got a few cool pics with my brothers and friends bikes.
Welcome to the forum edwardo! I myself own an across, and loving it, fantastic bike! Having a bike and no license must suck I feel your pain, having spent some time with a license and no bike (nearly as bad imho!) I'm looking at setting up a respray on mine some time too, however need the cash Enjoy the forum, it's a great place for info, especially if you have some technical difficulties, and there's a lot of us here with across's or those who have owned them and still remember how to make them tick!
