Motorcycle

Well, after many years of wanting a bike, I finally grew a set and bought one. I got an ex500 to start with. Should keep me busy till winter. I'll spend the winter cleaning it up, maybe polishing the frame and wheels, and sell it for what I paid for it. By spring I hope to be ready for a Ninja 650r. I really like its new style. Not a true sport bike, more of a sport touring bike than any other.

Anyone have any experience polishing metals???

Good luck polishing a steel frame. A good choice for starter bike though, and an EX650 after that, even better. It's nice to see someone using their brain, rather than peer pressure, when choosing a first motorcycle. Good luck with it.

Rubber down, shiny side up.....

I know, I still owe you pics.

I'll tell you what. It has power. Could still use a little low end, but new sprokets will help..
