Hey!
So, I am new to this forum. Been browsing for a little bit now.
I bought my first bike in the fall of 2010. It took some looking around, but finally found a bike to call my own.
I was on the lookout for a bike that i could cut down and make a hardtail out of. After some searching and seeing some bombs of old bikes for ridiculous prices, I finally found one. Out in the grass already hardtailed, old sportster tank, harley risers, and Spoked wheeles. Also Titled, (Holy Hannah) just what I wanted.
Ended up getting the bike for $200 - Looking good so far! -
It had been sitting down at my uncles' place for 15 years (didn't really know about it)
It had been rebuilt back then, only 9000km on it. It was dry seized from sitting so long, so took some time to take it apart and get all top end rebuilt. That being Cylinders Honed out, new pistons, valves lapped and resealed/seated. -This cost only $150
So, enough blabbing for now. I will create a thread later on trying to update on everything i do.
Hoping to do a lot of reading on here, learning and sharing!
