Hey All..
I just realised that I have made a few posts in here.. both asking questions.. and offering what little advice i have.. without introducing myself first.
Im from Brisbane Australia. 3 years ago i decided i wanted a motorbike.. more for working on than riding.. and i found a 1970 XS650 with a 76 motor in pretty damn good condition. I bought it for $3000 AU... its been on the road for a total of 3 hrs.. and i loved every minute of it! If i didnt tinker with it so much it would have been on the road longer.. but i wouldnt have learned so much and had as much fun. so there you go.. another idiot buying an xs650 for his first bike!
thanks for all your help with my questions so far.. and there will be more dont worry

GUILTY!

Seriously though, welcome and I'm glad you're having fun. Me too.
