richiedan40 Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 hello everyone , I,m brand new to this club and also brand new to jap bikes , well of this size anyhow , past my test way back on a superdream ! my name is Richie , I live in N Wales and have always ridden BSA,s ive had a gold star , a b44 two a65,s and a bantam. But after an accident in the 90,s I left bikes alone , until my good friend bought a bonnie and gave me this 1989 xj600 so we could go to Ireland touring. it arrived in a sorry state and although its not worth much ive been restoring it with love and care. ive got some photos which I,ll post later , I,ll be blatently honest I know nothing of these bikes and ive joined this club in the hope that I,ll get some help and maybe be able to offer some general advice , I,m an engineer by trade. some one out there may find some time for my restoration progress report ! they may have had one and have some stories to tell. if anybody is interested and can offer some technical help I,d be very grateful , thanks , Richie D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slice Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 Hi Richie and welcome to the YOC, always nice when someone actually does a good INTRO most just don't bother and get grumpy when no one talks to them, there are a few 600 owners on here and any questions you have just put them in the WORKSHOP section and someone will be along to help out, if your doing a project then put that in the PROJECTS thread. Hope you get to stick around and let us have a look at your new toy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
