Another free motorbike
Got given a 89 Suzuki GN125..
It stopped going and was put in the back of a shed and forgotten about the rego died... all it took was a carb clean to get it running... it runs bloody well.. no smoke... so the boy has been pulling it apart and painting the rusted area's a few things to fix... shock and tank bolts are broken off... disc is lipped... ordered new disc/pads/rear brake shoes off Alliexspress.. needs a rear tyre and fork seals... but everything ealse works.... all lighting etc.. I see the Chinese make a 150 kit for $110nz... ..

Although I liken a free bike to a free puppy and all the out of pocket involved, I’d probably still take it home with me.

There is a saying that the best beer is free beer; I would think the same thing would apply to a motorcycle.
