Welcome Susan. Another girl rider- whoo-hoo!
You could be in trouble asking people to PM you anytime- some of the suggestions may not be what you expect :lol:

Aw u love it BM!!!

if u need assistance looking for bikes (and u dont have ppl to help out) i can recommend Plasma (mark) is VERY good at picking things with bikes (if he is free) ..alterantively Greeny isnt too bad at knowing what to look for either...

Logan is really good if u want someone who can tell u wots incredibly good-looking and Steve can advise how best to pull shit apart!!

im just there for comic relief!!

Yes, well, what I *meant* was "feel free to introduce yourself". Not a free-for-all to message me dirty pictures or hassle me for my phone number. :P

Hiya Pinkbike :)

ZZR250....I've had mine now for 4 years I guess, and am happy with it. It's a '99 model. Have dropped it while stationary 2-3 times, and have always picked it back up solo. :wink:

Watch out for the internal fuel filters inside the tank coming unglued (not good!), worn rubber seals on the fuel vacuum tap (expensive) and wear of the spindle bushes inside the carby (annoying).

If you want to know the technique for picking up your bike by yourself, PM me and I'll send you the link.
I used to have a handle on Life,
but it fell off.

Why is it, all the new girlie's threads get Neka spammed! :lol:

Neka is practically married these days anyways, you should moreso beware of an instate rider who rides a black 9, and doesnt drink alcohol!

As for the ZZR, great choice of bike. Hope you find one that you like. If you're unsure of anything, post up a question, and I'm sure one of the guru's on here can solve your problems.

Welcome!
Vespa!
