Hi All,

I've just purchased a "1984" (Mfr date on frame says 4/83) Maxim 400 with 6800 km. I've done the basic tune up work and put on new tires. The mechanic I had it at said it looks great but there's normal wear and tear on the rubber parts, cracking, fading, etc. I'm not very handy but I'm hoping to learn a bit with this bike to get familiar with some basic things.

Me, I'm 30, new to bikes. Took a couple of safety courses last year and got my M2. I live near Ottawa.

Mike

good bikes to learn the basics on and there's plenty of other owners willing to chip in as well

Thanks all. That's one of the reasons I was drawn to this forum, looks like a helpful and friendly group. I've been doing a lot of reading and have several threads book marked already. No doubt I'll have lots of questions but hopefully I'll remember to search first!
