Hello All From Pittsburgh

rfetz · 07-07-2022, 09:53 AM

Good Morning all,
Just registered for the forum. I am a newbie to bikes in general. Rode a little when I was a teen. Never had my own. Have not ridden a bike in 40 years.

Purchased a xpro 250 and have had it for a week or so. I think I like tinkering more than riding. I love the forum and all the conversation.

Taking it easy on the bike with 9 miles so far. Put in a new plug,changed the oil and checked the chain tightness so far.

Not great yet getting into first at times. Once going, I am fine

Since it appears weight is a variable in discussion, I am 5' 9" and today I was 195 lbs

Take care
rfetz
