Hi everyone!
been riding cheap lil bikes for around 8 years in wet seattle. ive always worked on my own bikes, fluid filter and tires changes, carb rebuilds, timing adjustments, adding bolt on parts. always wanted to do a streetfighter/naked bike. just got a 2012 cbr250r for $500 from a coworker and it has begun. she put the bike down once, broke some fairings and lights, and got some scrapes, got shook. she knew i rode and wrenched so she asked me if i wanted it on the low, apparent broken fairings and all. sight unseen i brought $500, a backpack full of tools, and a 6 pack of beer to her house. i was determined to drive the bike home. it wasnt bad at all when i got there, the zipties and epoxy in my bag proved crucial.
Will be starting a build thread soon!
