The new guy
« on: May 18, 2012, 03:47:08 pm »
G'day there, thought I better pop in here before I just up and start asking questions around the place. A mate and I have just purchased a little GT80 that needs some TLC. We're hoping it's the first of many old bike projects, so if we are still getting along at the end of this project we'll tackle another. He's the brains and I'm the monkey that swings off spanners for a living so hopefully we can make something of this little ripper.
It's a 1975 GT80 (C I think?), and the colour I believe must be chappy green, judging by a brochure I saw in the mini bike thread. This things has plenty of dents in the tank, stuffed front forks, dodgy guards, stripped kick started and so and so on and probably many more problems our untrained eyes haven't yet discovered. I'll start another thread about it anyway....

So for now, G'day and I look forward to spending time around the place...
