So I had a dilemma with one of my staff members scooter, thing keeps throwing it's belts and it costs me like a grand to fix each time... So I started thinking of how to get around it. I've been telling him to get a bike for a while now, but he just can't afford it... He also works for my wife during the day, so it's in both our interest that he stays rolling... So, I decided to bite the bullet and buy a bike! He can ride it, but I will own and customise it. Once it's ready for the wife, I'll look at getting him his own when he can afford it...
So here it is, a 2008 Yamaha SR250! Bike has 8000km on the clock and I bought it for R6000, not bad methinks. Immediate problems are a slightly slippy clutch and the neck bearings are not tight so the bars sit skew. Also needs a new front headlight as the one on it is trash! Should be an easy fix!
Here she is!
Ideas for the customisation; either brat or tracker style... I'll let my wife decide which she prefers and go from there...
