Hi from Chicago

My name's Mike, I just bought a 2002 in Candy Wineberry Red.

The reason I know the exact colour is that I purchased the bike last night and someone knocked it over in the parking lot at noon today

To the designers' credit, There are just a few scratches along the right side. However I am hearing a bit of a buzz around 3900 RPM so I may have to pull some tupperware to look into it. Hopefully it's just something jarred loose and wont require much repair.

I've owned lots and lots of Elite 150's, 250's and a couple Helixes. I also recently sold a 1986 GL1200A after doing tons of maintenance (timing belts, brakes, carbs clean and sync) and realizing that I'd rather ride than wrench!

Hi Mike,

Welcome aboard.

We have a few active members, from Chicago, on this forum...A great bunch.

Howdy Mike, welcome to the forum. It sounds like with your experience, you'll be a valuable addition.

Hi Mike,

Welcome to the forum from a fellow Chicagoan. What part of Chicago are you from the city or the burbs. I'm on the northwest side. Three new members from Chicago in the last week. That is awesome. Enjoy the forum and ride safe.
