How much did that set you back? Picking up an er5 for free on saturday which has been sat for about 1 year, it comes with a haynes manual and a paddock stand so currently debating whether I want to do the work myself (haven't even got my A licence yet so might be more sensible) or just get it into a garage :/

Cost me just over £300, that included full fluid change (fork oil, engine oil, coolant, brake fluid), replace oil and air filter, brakes were taken off stripped and sorted, all over general safety check, there was rust in the tank which he sorted, MOT and he picked the bike up from the seller.

So £50 was the MOT and picking the bike up.

My Mrs made me go to a garage so it was checked by a professional before i rode it. Only one advisory on the MOT which was the exhaust as its got a blue flame race can on it. Smile

Use the 'share links' addresses to the right of the picture on Photobucket to embed the picture in a post, you want to use the IMG one.

Bike looks nice! Thumbs Up Cool

No prob Smile

On Photobucket there should be a few links next to each pic you upload, each is for a different purpose - to put the pic in a post on a forum you choose the 'IMG' one and paste that text into your post. All it does is tell the forum that this is a link to a picture so it knows to show that, rather than as a link you click on. Photobucket have a page that explains it all here in a bit more detail Thumbs Up
