OK, here it goes!
G'day everyone! I go by the name of detto and I plan on sharing my experience of my rusty Z250 project with anyone kind enough to spare a few minutes to read! Hopefully this will not be one of them dead end projects and you will all get to behold the final completion provided I can keep up the morale! That's where you guys come in!
The project I am undertaking is a first for me, I plan on building a street legal learner bike using the Kawasaki Z250 as my model. My main goal is to experience and learn as much as possible along the way and hopefully by the end of it all, I'll have myself an awesome bike I can ride on my learners permit on the road.
So without further ado may I please introduce you all, to both my lovely girls haha!
As you all have gathered I have acquired two bikes, a Z250a and a z250b. I plan on using both for parts and hopefully create one running model out of the two. When I first laid eyes upon them on an add, advertising them both for $300 bucks I instantly clicked it... though I turned my head away very soon seeing all the corrosion and spiderwebs laughing and thinking to myself, who on earth would buy these two piles of rust... that sorry sucker was me. Though to my amazement they weren't too shabby after all! I'm in love..
This is where the journey begins. Wish me luck!
edit - correction my bike is actually a Z250 not previously a KZ250 as I had believed before. Sorry, blonde moment :-[
