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???

 

um

 

Congrats on the bike. Post pics.

 

I'll take some tomorrow. My friend already "stole" it from me, so he could get it inspected and gone over for me..

Geez.. It feels good to be back. Hevent been around in a few months. Ever since work blocked the site..

 

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.

 

Congrats. Be safe.

As you may already know AZ has a ton of members with bikes (including me). If you have any questions just ask.

Keep the rubber side down.


oh, polishing?.....

a LOT of work. Have fun.

 

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..
