hey all!

my names Bruce and i am a new found biker' head from East London. been into cars most of my life so petrol's in my veins! always wanted to get onto a bike and ride it for some time, but never took the first steps...

having a friend like Jaya3, seems to ave gotten me to get my chops into gear. got my learners last week and the bugs a biyatch! bought a immaculate z200 on saturday but dont think its ideal base for what i want to build. im a lil limited being 1.91m tall! so bobber it is.

i would really love to get something bigger and Honda CB. i have been looking online and have found a few. but what can one expect on a tight budget? how does one know exactly what condition the bike in question is in, being 1000km away? any tips or the likes on what can be done, who can check the bike out and perhaps transportation on bikes around SA?

any tips will be appreciated! really enjoying the forum so far!!!

Bruce
