There, I said it. I'm a noob. I just bought my first motorcycle last week. It's an '81 900C. Got it off my buddy who posts on this forum as well (see "Brando's Amazing Barn find" ca. 07/2008) who referred me here. The bike needs some work, and I'm excited to have the chance to put it back on the road.
Luckily, I'm no stranger to elbow grease, Craftsman, and duct tape so I should have everything covered. Though, I might have to ask a question or two. Hopefully soon I can post pictures of the bike in road-worthy conditions.
If I could just find a tank... |

A little about myself:
I am 25, and a manager at a video game store. I can tear down and rebuild any computer on the planet. I'm a history geek. Play a little golf, when I can. My idea of a perfect day? The sound of an internal combustion engine, and an open road. |

Welcome. I've only been here a day or two, and I've already learned something. Also, thanks to you, I'm no longer the noobiest noob.  |
