It's dingaling'n time
Sorry if this is in the wrong section; I'm [obviously] new and don't know my way around, but wanted to say Hi and introduce myself, so here goes nothin!
I'm Liam. I live in Victoria BC and just started riding a few months ago after I bought my buddy's '09 Ninja two-fiddy. I've been riding that around with my friend who rides an 84 750VFR Interceptor and getting lots of seat time. I just turned 20 and have no idea what I want to do, but I'm dead keen to get on with my life.
I was poking around my local online classifieds for motorcycle projects (a daily past-time) and came across a fellow selling a '77 XS400D that was in pieces and needed rebuilding. Now, when I say pieces, I mean pieces.
With the exception of the carb and bottom of the engine block the whole bike is disassembled and labelled in 4 rubbermaid totes, with the frame and other bits and bobs laying about. Essentially it's a puzzle that just needs some lovin'!
I'm big into streetfighters and never got to make my own, but I feel like I could take this project anywhere I want. The only thing I'm scared of is eliminating the XS magic from it.
Not sure what the plan is yet, but I'm thinking something like this, but with a streetfighter's flare.
Anyways, I hope you enjoyed reading my of text, and I am stoked to get used to the site and settle in!
Thanks for reading
