Rural Guy Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rural Guy Posted April 20, 2010 Author Share Posted April 20, 2010 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!
